Library

A collection of some short stories that I like and have made available to read on Gemini.

The Garden of Forking Paths

A famous short piece by Borges. Published in 1941, it is a complex, unique story that has become an image for many things - infinity, co-existing impossible worlds, hypertext, etc. Word-count: ~3988

Jorge-Luis Borges - The Garden of The Branching Paths

Folding Beijing

An ornate, beautiful sci-fi parable about labour and class. First published on a Tsinghua University BBS in 2012. Word-count: ~16123

Hao Jingfang - Folding Beijing

The Burrow

Written in the winter before Kafka's death in 1924. It is the story of a creature who builds a highly-secured burrow, only to succumb to anxiety about an 'invader'. Could almost be a cautionary tale about cybersecurity and the endless quest to build perfect IT systems. Word-count: ~14307

Franz Kafka - The Burrow

Report on The Thing

The story of an encounter with a clock. A meditation on a waiting for a time without time. Word-count: ~2963

Clarice Lispector - Report on The Thing

Rivette's Three Circles

An short essay by Gilles Deleuze on Rivette's Gang of Four (1989). More broadly, it is about the relationship between theatre and cinema, about the ways that cinema breaks away from theatre, into 'minor' spaces like suburbs or the back-rooms of the theatre. It is also about one of the great themes of Rivette's cinema - conspiracy.
