Let me just say that I really enjoyed Borges’ “The Garden of Forking Paths;” it is one of the best stories I have read for awhile. What is most fascinating to me is the idea of the story contained within a story, continuing to an almost infinite degree. The short story itself begins with the statement “an attack against the Serre-Montauban line by thirteen British divisions… had to be postponed until the morning of the 29th.” That story, seemingly tediously boring, when investigated yields the thrilling story of Dr. Yu Tsun, English Professor and German spy.
