Labyrinths
Using a very vivid and a very labyrinth -like complexity approach to describing the fictional city of Tion, Borges recreates everything about this city from its history, customs and even languages.
Borge’s labyrinth -like description of Tion seems to be viewed from an external frame and it amazes that he is so descript ive in the rich detail s of an imaginary city. As I was reading his description I felt as though I was truly exploring his city of Tion instead of just reading the words from his short story.
Overall it took some time to fully appreciate his story but it made for a very interesting reading.
