The Garden of Forking Paths

The Garden of Forking Paths is a remarkable story by the renowned Jorge Luis Borges. Originally titled "El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan", it is the title story in the collection published in 1941, which was later republished in its entirety in Ficciones in 1944.

This tale introduces readers to a world of mazes, puzzles, and lost labyrinths, weaving a tapestry of bookish mysteries and intricate narratives that only a literary magician like Borges could conjure. It was first translated into English by Anthony Boucher when it appeared in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine in August 1948.
