Just read “Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius”.
Borges uses a narrator, written in first person (limited), to describe a book that seems to defy reality.
Then the book becomes its own reality…
Borges twists “reality” and the concept of scientific method, in a way in which he ridicules others who twist reality and scientific methods for their own agendas.
Is this story a parody? It is certainly satirical.
