A collection of short stories by this blind Argentine post-modernist with a central theme of the unknowability of the world, whether expressed as the labyrinth which turns up in nearly every story, the infinitude of space and time (love Zeno’s Law!), the Library of Babel with its infinite number of books all containing 25 elements (comma, period, space and 22 letters) combined in infinite ways to produce every book and its antithesis in every language, and on and on.
