of the sun? I’ve been flying in
the dark my whole life.
I can’t find the sun.
Does the sun even exist?

The Book of Imaginary Beings - Jorge Luis Borges
Summary: A bestiary detailing over one hundred fantastical creatures.
Quote: “We are ignorant of the meaning of the dragon in the same way that we are ignorant of the meaning of the universe; but there is something in the dragon’s image that fits man’s imagination, and this accounts for the dragon’s appearance in different places and periods.”
My rating: 3.5/5.0 Goodreads: 4.09/5.0
Review: Dense and dreamy, the book almost seems to have been created in an alternate timeline. It’s a difficult read for such a fanciful topic, but it’s still the most accessible Borges that I have tried. It feels rigorously researched, and it’s not fully clear which facts Borges has drawn from other sources and which he has pulled from his imagination, further adding to the surreal tone. It feels more like an academic work than a literary one but there are some beautiful sentences in it. The illustrations, by Peter Sis, are well-matched with the text, the figures are almost, but not quite, familiar.
