Consultado el 4 de octubre de 2012. «Saramago mezcló realidad y fantasía y reflexionó sobre la ceguera del autor de Ficciones y los mundos que creaba ("Borges inventó la literatura virtual", dijo). Afirmó que tres escritores expresaron el espíritu del siglo XX: Borges, Kafka y Pessoa, pero que sólo los dos primeros fueron profetas.»

Selected Non-Fictions, the third in the commemorative trilogy, brings together various topical articles from Borges. These include prologues for the books of others, including Virginia Woolf, and political opinion pieces, such as his excoriating condemnation of Nazi Germany as well as to the tacit support it received from some among the Argentine middle classes. Borges also writes about the dubbing of foreign films and the celebrated Dionne quintuplets, born in Canada in the 1930s. "One reads these," noted Richard Bernstein in the New York Times,"with amazement at their author's impetuous curiosity and penetrating intelligence." Review of Contemporary Fiction critic Ben Donnelly, like other critics, felt that all three volumes complemented each other, as Borges's own shifts between genres did: "The best essays here expose even grander paradoxes and erudite connections than in his stories," Donnelly noted.

Consultado el 26 de septiembre de 2012. «A estos ensayos se añadieron cuentos como "Funes el memorioso" y "La forma de la espada" (1942), incorporados en 1944 a la primera edición de Ficciones; y "La espera" (1950) y "El hombre en el umbral" (1952), incluidos en la segunda edición de El Aleph (1952). "El Sur" y "El fin" (publicados en 1953), fueron incorporados en la edición de Ficciones de 1956.» Illusion is an important part of Borges's fictional world. In Borges: The Labyrinth Maker, Ana Maria Barrenechea called it "his resplendent world of shadows." But illusion is present in his manner of writing as well as in the fictional world he describes. In World Literature Today, William Riggan quoted Icelandic author Sigurdur Magnusson's thoughts on this aspect of Borges's work. "With the possible exception of Kafka," Magnusson stated, "no other writer that I know manages, with such relentless logic, to turn language upon itself to reverse himself time after time with a sentence or a paragraph, and effortlessly, so it seems, come upon surprising yet inevitable conclusions." El libro se divide en dos secciones llamadas El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan y Artificios. A pesar de ello no difieren en estilo; la única diferencia notable reside en las fechas en que aparecieron los textos y en que la segunda sección es ligeramente más breve que la primera. La división del libro en dos se debe a que la primera parte había sido publicada originalmente tres años antes, en 1941, como un libro individual.Ficciones (in English: "Fictions") is a collection of short stories by Argentine writer and poet Jorge Luis Borges, originally written and published in Spanish between 1941 and 1956. Thirteen stories from Ficciones were first published by New Directions in the English-language anthology Labyrinths (1962). In the same year, Grove Press published the entirety of the book in English using the same title as in the original language. " The Approach to Al-Mu'tasim" originally appeared published in A History of Eternity ( Historia de la eternidad) (1936). Ficciones became Borges's most famous book and made him known worldwide.

The idea that all humans are one, which Anderson-Imbert observed calls for the "obliteration of the I," is perhaps Borges's biggest step toward a literature devoid of realism. In this theme we see, according to Ronald Christ in The Narrow Act: Borges' Art of Illusion,"the direction in Borges's stories away from individual psychology toward a universal mythology." This explains why so few of Borges's characters show any psychological development; instead of being interested in his characters as individuals, Borges typically uses them only to further his philosophical beliefs.
