The Conspirators (a Borgean Tribute to Jorge Luis Borges)

The Conspirators (a Borgean Tribute to Jorge Luis Borges)

Ramon Lasalle​

"That joyous recognition, which seems to obey the tradition of classical tragedy, should be the crown of this story, leaving happiness assured for the three persons of the tale—the true mother, the apocryphal and obliging son, and the conspirator repaid for the providential apotheosis of his industry. But Fate would not have it."

Raphus Press proudly presents The Conspirators , a collection of short stories in honor of Borges. Here we have complex reconstructions and ferocious reconfigurations of the usual mazes, daggers, and conspirators of that Argentine author.

Jorge Luis Borges was an author who not only represented the best of Argentine fiction in the twentieth century, but followed the fate of some of his inspirers and became​, perhaps against his will, a national hero of his country, occupying a mythical zone. Curiously, this mythical status extrapolated the borders of Argentina and the name "Borges" became universally associated with fantastic literature, labyrinths, mirrors, erudition, books.

But Becoming a myth has its drawbacks: the loss of depth when it comes to details. Borges, a man of conservative thinking , appreciated the revolutionary Louis-Auguste Blanqui, the grandfather of Leninism. Indeed, in his fictions and poetry, there are innumerable heretics, counterfeiters, villainous, conspirators, indicating a very complex notion of reality outside the conventional axes of conservative morality. Reactivate such paradoxes - this is the quest of our collection!

For this purpose, we have an extraordinary myriad of authors whose unbridled imagination can conjure up infinite new labyrinths, to the liking of Borges: Mark Valentine and John Howard, Thomas Philips, Jonathan Wood, Rhys Hughes, Justin Isis, Stephan Friedman and some few surprises. Some of them in their first collaboration with the Raphus Press, also embarking on the search for a kind of imaginary author, who is perhaps the savage, Argentine God, who imagined the hallucinatory reality that surrounds us as a perpetual maze.
