The word suburbs here is just wrong. It just doesn't feel right. Suburbs doesn't that doesn't have the connotation that it does in the spanish word. We associate suburbs with, like ye. I actually don't have that. I have alcohi. And went on from the masa meth ogies of the slums and outskirts of the other that's the right cause. But these, these straightforward stories, aren't even that straightforward, but i just wanted to read one of those. Like emasons is iels prtylaey, it's pretty, it's not it,It's not it.
It’s a Borges bonanza! David and Tamler dive into two stories: “Emma Zunz” and “Borges and I.” The first seems like a straightforward daughter revenge story (Tamler’s favorite genre), but Borges being Borges there are layers of doubt and fuzziness about what exactly is going on. “Borges and I” may be less than a page, but it has us questioning our identity, the relationship between private and public selves, and what happens to when you release a work out into the world.
