Fantastic Fiction: Jorge Luis Borges in 1962
When Anglophone readers think of “magical realism,” they generally think of Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges, and other practitioners of this subgenre in Latin America during the mid-20th century. Borges, known for his brain-twisting, reality-bending stories, published two texts in English in 1962: Ficciones and Labyrinths.
