Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! One of the most complex stories we've ever read: The Garden of Forking Paths by Jorge Luis Borges was mind-blowing! Let's talk about the usages of metafiction in this post-modernist work. The complications of blurred lines and hyper-accelerated scenes only help to confuse and disorient the reader in a good way. Our version was translated by Helen Temple and Ruthven Todd.
