Damon and Zihan explore a great short story from the master of the form, Jorge Luis Borges. The Garden of Forking Paths may just be an infinitely mysterious work... After making sense of the complex plot, the conversation drifts towards the nature of time, infinity, possibility, and what all that has to do with labyrinths.  You can read the story <a href='http://shiraz.fars.pnu.ac.ir/portal/file/?970437/The-Garden-of-Forkling-Paths-Original.pdf'>here</a>.

Close Reed #7: Jorge Luis Borges - The Garden of Forking Paths

The Reeds is a gathering of amateurs in the deepest sense of the word: lovers of letters, wisdom, and humankind. Our mission is to bridge the gap between the academy and the world by creating a community of sincere learners. So on this podcast, a bunch of amateurs get together and freely discuss books and ideas. The Reeds Podcast contains two series. The first is Close Reed, which always has a text at its foundation, and around which the discussion centers. The second is Bookshelves & Barstools, a purposefully untethered and impromptu series of conversations, designed to mimic the sort of passionate conversations we used to have after class or at a bar. One is (relatively) more serious, the other more relaxed, yet both are still just amateurs trying to get to the bottom of things. Learn more at: https://www.the-reeds.com/
