Some of the narrative pieces herein contained are: "Pierre Menard" in which a modern writer reconstructs passages from Don Quixote that are verbally identical but read differently; "The Garden of Forking Paths," an intellectual variation on the detective-story genre; and "Nightmares," a lecture which, as Alastair Reid puts it, "shifts Everything and Nothing personal memories to writers, to an examination of other peoples' metaphors, to language itself.

Everything and Nothing -- After reading the title Borges work in this collection, below are the questions I would ask myself and anybody else reflecting on the Everything and Nothing. I have also included the actual Borges tale beneath the questions. Have fun! If in a dream you heard a voice say that you are everything and nothing, what would you think? In this short piece, an actor is no one man in particular yet all men. If you are a fiction writer, is the Everything and Nothing -- After reading the title Borges work in this collection, below are the questions I would ask myself and anybody else reflecting on Everything and Nothing subject. According to Borges, Shakespeare is unable to have a singular identity, a constant and an unchanging Self. What is consistent, if anything, about your own sense of identity? Again, according to Borges, Shakespeare created multiple identities to give his life an identity. Is such a creation of multiple identities a viable way to establish identity? Is establishing identity important in the first place? Borges says Shakespeare was never meant to be anyone. Is Borges being ironic? How would an actor or author Everything and Nothing a claim to actually being someone away from the stage or writing desk? Do you feel yourself to be infinitely full of possibilities or Everything and Nothing empty of any way of being in the world other than the way Everything and Nothing are? What actions, if any, are unique to you? Is this another way of stating that there is no Everything and Nothing destiny but only a collective destiny? Do you agree? Is this story really saying that all individual identities are an illusion, that there is only Everything and Nothing identity split into so many dreams having no more substance than soap bubbles? Is there any question I've overlooked? He started out assuming that everyone Everything and Nothing just like him; the puzzlement of a friend to whom he had confided a little of his emptiness revealed his error and left him with the lasting impression that the individual should not diverge from the species. At one time he thought he could find a cure for his ailment in books and accordingly learned the "small Latin and less Greek" to which a contemporary later referred. He next decided that what he was looking for might be found in the practice of one of humanity's more elemental rituals: he allowed Anne Hathaway to initiate him over the course of a long June afternoon. In his twenties he went to London. He had become instinctively adept at pretending to be somebody, so that no one would suspect he was Everything and Nothing fact nobody. In London he discovered the profession for which he was destined, that of the Everything and Nothing who stands on a stage and pretends to be someone else in front of a group of people who pretend to take him for that other person. Theatrical work brought him rare happiness, possibly the first he had ever known—but when the last line had been applauded and the last corpse removed from the stage, the odious shadow of unreality fell over him again: he ceased being Ferrex or Tamburlaine and went back to being nobody. Hard pressed, he took to making up other heroes, other tragic tales. While his body fulfilled its bodily destiny in the taverns and brothels of London, the soul inside it belonged to Caesar who paid no heed to the oracle's warnings and Juliet who hated skylarks and Macbeth in conversation, on the heath, with witches who were also the Fates. No one was as many men as this man: like the Egyptian Proteus, he used up the Everything and Nothing of Everything and Nothing creatures. Every now and then he would tuck a confession into some hidden corner of his work, certain that no one would spot it. Richard states that he plays many roles in one, and Iago makes the odd claim: "I am not what I am. For twenty years he kept up this controlled delirium. Then one morning he was overcome by the tedium and horror of being all those kings who died by the sword and all those thwarted lovers who came together and broke apart and melodiously suffered. That very day Everything and Nothing decided to Everything and Nothing his troupe. Before Everything and Nothing week was out he had returned to Everything and Nothing hometown: there he reclaimed the trees and the river of his youth without tying them to the other selves that his muse had sung, decked out in mythological allusion and latinate words. He had to be somebody, and so he became a retired impresario who dabbled in money-lending, lawsuits, and petty usury. It was as this character that he wrote the rather dry last will and testament with which we are familiar, having purposefully expunged from it every trace of emotion and every literary flourish. When friends visited him from London, he went back to playing the role of poet for their benefit. The story goes that shortly before Everything and Nothing after his death, when he found himself in the presence of God, he said: "I who have been so many men in vain want to be one man only, myself. I dreamed the world the way you dreamt your plays, dear Shakespeare. You are one of the shapes of my dreams: like me, you are everything and nothing. View all 13 comments. Feb 18, Vit Babenco rated it it was amazing. Reading books by Jorge Luis Borges is like taking a walk in the intellectual garden of forking paths. In London he found the calling he had been predestined to; he became an actor, that person who stands upon a stage and plays at being another person, for an audience Everything and Nothing people who play at taking him for that person.
