I know he is a hack, but what are some writers similar to his style that are not hacks?

Can you articulate why he's a hack

That story alone is reason enough for Eco to have never put a version of Borges as the bad guy who hates humour in the Name of the Rose

Gerald Murnane

>>25459206
Murnane is great but I don't see how he is like Borges at all. I only read him because, years ago, I saw someone recommending Stream System in the same context of like-Borges authors and I'm glad, but I still don't get it. Are you the same guy?

Read his work lmao

>Can you articulate why he's a hack
He admitted in interview to thinking the english language was superior to spanish for writing, such a thing is inconceivable to anyone who is fluent in both, he just has a chip in his shoulder about not reaching nothing near Cervante's heights and says retarded things like that.

Thank you for proving Instagram comments are better than this retarded website.

He isn't a hack.
He's inspired copycats, you can call them hacks if you like. Italo Calvino, Milorad Pavić etc.
Read this, you pretentious swine.

Another retard. What the fuck is it about retards in Borges threads? Retard.

It's plainly not inconceivable, and he's infinitely better read and educated than you, so I'll take his word over yours.
