Same. So many stand-out fun stories, but this one has that nice open ended-ness to it. I see the Aleph as a misplaced relic of theirs.
(And the computer game Caves of Qud fits into it nicely. Check at least the music)

The Circular Ruins

I also love The Meeting

I remember one about a Western king poking fun at an Arab king, about a labyrinth in the desert or something. It was quite short but it stood out to me. This was some 10 years ago so I don't remember when/where/how

Thanks! I was too lazy to google. This reminded me I only ever read Ficciones and Aleph from him, but he has a ton of books. Which ones are short stories instead of essays/poems?

Get The Book Of Sand, it's a collection of later stories.
