Brain Worms Book Club 116 / The Aleph & Other Stories by Jorge Luis Borges

Written in a deceptively simple, almost laconic style Borges takes us inside the minds of an unrepentant Nazi, an imprisoned Mayan priest, fanatical Christian theologians, a woman plotting vengeance on her father’s “killer,” and a man awaiting his assassin in a Buenos Aires guest house. In maddeningly ingenious stories that play with the very form of the short story, Borges returns again and again to his themes: dreams, labyrinths, mirrors, infinite libraries, the manipulations of chance, gaucho knife-fighters, transparent tigers and the elusive nature of identity itself.

Available from all good libraries and book shops.

You don't have to have read it to join us - but it'll probably help.

We will be meeting in The Ludski Bar in the Rio Cinema.https://www.riocinema.org.uk/your-visit/

You are welcome to bring outside food in with you but please buy your drinks from inside the cinema. Thank you.

We hope to see you there.
