Jorge Luis Borges/YMMV


 * Alternative Character Interpretation: "Three Versions of Judas"
 * Freud Was Right: "The Cult of the Phoenix" won't be any more about gay sex no matter how much people say it is.
 * Heartwarming Moments: The end of "The Rose of Paracelsus".
 * They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Played with in "A Survey of the Works of Herbert Quain", which reviews several books from the titular (fictional) author; one of them is a collection of stories in all of which Quain has deliberately wasted a good plot turning it into a wrong direction, with the intention of making the readers believe they have discovered the better possible plot themselves.
