DENVER WRITERS BOOK CLUB: Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges
Details
Step into a labyrinth of mirrors, infinite libraries, and imagined worlds—our next book club selection is Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges.
This collection of short stories is more than literature; it’s a puzzle box of philosophy, metaphysics, and imagination. Borges invites us to question the nature of reality, time, and identity through tales that are as brief as they are boundless. From the infinite shelves of "The Library of Babel" to the haunting paradoxes of "Tlön," "Uqbar," "Orbis Tertius," each story opens a door to a universe where fiction and reality blur.
Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe even your own theories about the infinite. Borges himself once wrote: “I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” Let’s build our own little paradise together in this discussion.
Our book club meets every fourth Thursday. Join us and help us decide which book to read for November 13, 2025.
Note: We get free validated parking in the garage at 3847 North Downing Street.
