I totally agree. Collected Fictions" is a compendium of 515 pages
of stories with translation notes after that. It's organized very
systematically but don't read it cover to cover - read it section by
section starting with the 8 stories in "The Garden of Forking Paths."
Most of the sections have a little forward and/or afterward by
Borges. Wait a month or so and then browse and dip and go back for
another section. This is very rich, heavy and delicious dessert
here - not to be eaten in one sitting.
