In purely graphic terms, the name Emma Zunz fuctions as an ideogram of the kind of solipsistic labyrinth in which Borges imagined himself to be trapped, for all the elements end up turning on themselves, pointing to nothing but reflections or distortions of each other, so that if there is a promise of salvation in the first name Emma, the second, Zunz, stops it dead.
