Borges is supposed to be a surrealist wonder. I say leave surrealism for the painters my friend. I don't have time enough in my life to plow through and digest REAL, USEFUL theologies and philosophies that not only exist but also have meaning in my life...so what is the point of wading thru a fictional anthropological study of a people that were in fact INVENTED by others! This is the context of his first short story. Apparently, others shorts were much better. However, after the first two were such a pain with no payoff in my opinion...I fed him to the fishes...
