The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges - Short Story Summary, Analysis, Review

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Our minds are blown this week by Jorge Luis Borges's "The Library of Babel." This is a thought experiment that Borges pays homage to and it's executed wonderfully! With themes on the infinite, knowledge, we didn't even really go into the religious side but there is so much here we by no means expect what we cover to be a complete look at this work! We chose this work as an effort to read more broadly for #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth. We'll provide a link below for our buddy Noah's talk on this story as well in the links. Our copy was translated by Andrew Hurley.
