“Borges melebihi siapa pun yang merenovasi bahasa fiksi dan karenanya ia telah membuka jalan bagi suatu generasi luar biasa dari para novelis Spanyol-Amerika. Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Carlos Fuentes, Jose Donoso, dan Mario Vargas Llosa, semuanya mengakui bahwa mereka berhutang kepadanya.” – J.M. Coetzee
“Dengan kemungkinan memasuki keterbatasan serta mendistorsi imajinasinya, [Borges] telah mengangkat fiksi jauh dari muka bumu, tempat sebagian besar novel dan cerita pendek kita masih menjejakkan kaki.” – John Updike
“Borges adalah penulis berbahasa Spanyol paling penting sejak Cervantes… menolak untuk menganugerahkan Hadiah Nobel kepadanya adalah sebuah keputusan yang buruk sebagaimana yang telah terjadi kepada Joyce, Proust, dan Kafka.” – Mario Vargas Llosa
“Tanpa Borges, novel Amerika Latin modern sama sekali takkan pernah ada.” – Carlos Fuentes

About the author
Jorge Luis Borges
1,589 books14.3k followersJorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges Acevedo was an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator regarded as a key figure in Spanish-language and international literature. His best-known works, Ficciones (transl. Fictions) and El Aleph (transl. The Aleph), published in the 1940s, are collections of short stories exploring motifs such as dreams, labyrinths, chance, infinity, archives, mirrors, fictional writers and mythology. Borges's works have contributed to philosophical literature and the fantasy genre, and have had a major influence on the magic realist movement in 20th century Latin American literature.
Born in Buenos Aires, Borges later moved with his family to Switzerland in 1914, where he studied at the Collège de Genève. The family travelled widely in Europe, including Spain. On his return to Argentina in 1921, Borges began publishing his poems and essays in surrealist literary journals. He also worked as a librarian and public lecturer. In 1955, he was appointed director of the National Public Library and professor of English Literature at the University of Buenos Aires. He became completely blind by the age of 55. Scholars have suggested that his progressive blindness helped him to create innovative literary symbols through imagination. By the 1960s, his work was translated and published widely in the United States and Europe. Borges himself was fluent in several languages.
In 1961, he came to international attention when he received the first Formentor Prize, which he shared with Samuel Beckett. In 1971, he won the Jerusalem Prize. His international reputation was consolidated in the 1960s, aided by the growing number of English translations, the Latin American Boom, and by the success of Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. He dedicated his final work, The Conspirators, to the city of Geneva, Switzerland. Writer and essayist J.M. Coetzee said of him: "He, more than anyone, renovated the language of fiction and thus opened the way to a remarkable generation of Spanish-American novelists."

A fragment? A complete, deep, short thought?
April 4, 2018
Wasn't sure if I had it in me to read Borges' essays in the Spanish, but the limpid clarity of his sentences, combined with the sheer exuberant pleasure gained from Borges' profound insights into Cervantes' great work --who else would've have thought to compare Valmiki's "Ramayana" to Don Quijote?-- soon dispelled any apprehension I felt. Read Borges, read Borges, he is "il maestro di color che sanno".

Can't say being exhausted at 12:30 in the morning and reading this was a good combo but here we are. Haha. I was confused at first but rereading it really helped. What I pulled from it is so true, at least to me. Reality is a damn bummer and a stealer of time.
