In "The Garden of Forking Paths", Borges refers to various unfinished works of literature to convey the idea of the limits of knowledge. This story is likely the most allegorical in Borges' The Garden of Forking Paths collection. It is a touching tale of the process of creation; not only does it treat matters of identity, but it also acts as a memorable foray into the realm of dreams.
