The Aleph and Other Stories
by
"No specific Borges translations/editions specified. Hurley's 'Collected Fictions' from Penguin is an excellent place to start, as is the 'Selected Nonfictions' companion volume. I've just listed here the five titles Bloom has in his Appendix, the contents of which can be found almost entirely in those two volumes from Penguin."
