It came from Argentina

As demonstrated in the contents page featuring The Showgirl Who Can Count to Four, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine was the first English language publication to publish the work of Jorge Luis Borges. And they certainly started something there. EQMM continues to print stories from abroad up through today. You can't expect that all of them will have that kind of impact, of course.

The story they chose, "The Garden of Forking Paths", is an effective crime thriller, among other things. So is another story, "Death and the Compass." I recently reread his brief landmark collection Ficciones. He could indeed be a crime writer, or a fantasist, or a literary writer. Primarily, though, he was Borges. He achieved an enviable level of thisness.
