I may have too high thoughts about Borges, although his stories are good, they are not as good as I expect. It may be a new The Library Of Babel that I am hoping for.

Try with "the Aleph" or maybe "tlön uqbar orbis tertius"... true masterpieces

I agree. This story is yet another example of the modern tendency to confuse the writing of fiction with an exercise in superfluous intellectual vanity. I could hardly get through it without screaming out loud. For a writer supposedly so adept and penetrating, we get pretty much close to nothing here. If you are going to tackle a subject like Shakespeare's memory, you'd better give the reader something unforgettable, not something sublimely forgettable. This is nothing, it seems, but an opportunity for Borges to brandish his bona fides and drop a bunch of jewels from literary trivial pursuit or Jeopardy. Borges, we know you're smart. Now, what about Shakespeare??? This story is like the Dad who holds out his clenched fist to his child upon coming home and says, "Daddy's got something for you!" But when the child opens up the hand, it is empty, and the father says, "Sucker!" Bad Dad. Bad story.

And of course it was printed in The New Yorker, another little corner in the narrow neighborhood of self-referential intellectuals who care more about name dropping and obscure allusions to German poetry than about penetrating the human soul.
