Episode description

This time we delve back into the world of the detective novel, but in a very different way, via the great Argentinian writer, Jorge Luís Borges! We read The Death and the Compass, an amazing short story, that messes around with everything we talked about last time on the Analytic Detective!

It's a very fun conversation, and despite having lots of literature talk, we managed to get into politics, of course. We hope you have fun, just like we did in various labyrinths of language, together with detectives and criminals.

 

Stories we talked about in this episode:

The Death and the Compass - http://art3idea.psu.edu/metalepsis/texts/death-compass.pdf

Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius;

The Aleph.
