Hernández

Borges, Hernandez, Arlt

From the beginning of “The Daisy Dolls” I felt it was pretty clear how crazy the story was going to be. The way things were laid out, though, I was expecting it to be one of those short stories where everything makes enough sense, initially, then at the end it’s revealed how completely insane the […]Continue reading →

Hernandez and Borges

. Regarding Borges and Daisy Dolls, I thought that his and Hernandez’ works were equally entertaining. First though, I would say that Daisy Dolls was definitely a rather odd piece. The concept was no doubt intriguing, but I do think … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Arlt, Borges and Hernandez

Alright, since there were quite a few stories to read on this week, I’ll go over some of my select favorites from each author (Borges being the only one with multiple…). The Cooked Cat: This stood out as a very weird, fragmented story to me. The nature of the characters are sadistic, and the writing […]Continue reading →

Arlt, Borges and Hernandez

After reading Kafka’s short story I wasn’t expecting to like these short stories as much I did. The story about the cooked cat was one of the weirdest stories I have ever read – it seemed to be about nothing … Continue reading →Continue reading →

Borges, Hernandez, & Arlt

Amongst the well-known works of Borges, I’m glad we got the chance to read “The Cooked Cat” and “The Daisy Dolls”. These two were definitely my favorite, and probably rank within the top five of the whole Arts One reading … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Cats, Dolls and Borges

We discussed briefly last week that a characteristic of short stories may be that they leave you with more questions at the end than you had at the start. I’d say that’s about accurate. All of these stories made me … Continue reading →Continue reading →

Borges, Cooked Cat, and Daisy Dolls

I’m writing this with a headache, so bear with me. Borges is a very good writer. He knows how to do short stories, and I enjoyed almost every assigned reading within this book as well as some that weren’t assigned. The downfall to his very cohesive and structured style, however, is that it gets predictable […]Continue reading →

The Daisy Dolls

While I disliked the Borges readings (it’s true, Jon), I did like reading “The Daisy Dolls.” My initial impression of the story was that it was another feminist story, where women are depicted as daisy dolls to be used for … Continue reading →Continue reading →
