Abstract
Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Notes [1] Borges's use of the device of the partially omniscient narrator is of course a familiar example of his concept of ‘the inability of reason to order reality’ (Lyon 1973 Lyon, Thomas E. 1973–74. Borges and the (somewhat) personal narrator. Modern Fiction Studies, 19(3): 363–372. [Google Scholar]–74, p. 372). [2] Apart from Stevenson and Chesterton, other examples of the ‘double’ in Borges might be inspired by Virginia Woolf's Orlando and William Faulkner's The Wild Palms (see Bell-Villada 1981 Bell-Villada, Gene H. 1981. Borges and His Fiction: A Guide to His Mind and Art, Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press. [Google Scholar], pp. 27–28).
