The work of Jorge Luis Borges had a decisive influence on the profile of the 20th century, especially concerning the literary world. An acclaimed writer, he revealed an undeniable preference for marginal literature, for text outside the canonic traditions. The present work focuses on two tales by Borges that belong to a genre still considered “minor,” the detective story. Also, it shows how these narratives appear tied to concerns that go beyond the genre, encompassing some usual elements of the Borgian universe such as philosophy, theology, mysticism, myth, metaphysics, and history.Downloads
