Tar for Mortar offers an in-depth exploration of one of literature’s greatest tricksters, Jorge Luis Borges. His short story “The Library of Babel” is a signature examplar of this playfulness, though not merely for the inverted world it imagines, where a library thought to contain all possible permutations of all letters and words and books is plumbed by pious librarians looking for divinely pre-fabricated truths. One must grapple as well with the irony of Borges’s narration, which undermines at every turn its narrator’s claims of the library’s universality, including the very possibility of exhausting meaning through combinatory processing. Borges directed readers to his non-fiction to discover the true author of the idea of the universal library. But his supposedly historical essays are notoriously riddled with false references and self-contradictions. Whether in truth or in fiction, Borges never reaches a stable conclusion about the atomic premises of the universal library — is it possible to find a character set capable of expressing all possible meaning, or do these letters, like his stories and essays, divide from themselves in a restless incompletion? While many readers of Borges see him as presaging our digital technologies, they often give too much credit to our inventions in doing so. Those who elide the necessary incompletion of the Library of Babel compare it to the Internet on the assumption that both are total archives of all possible thought and expression. Though Borges’s imaginings lend themselves to digital creativity (libraryofbabel.info is certainly evidence of this), they do so by showing the necessary incompleteness of every totalizing project, no matter how technologically refined. Ultimately, Basile nudges readers toward the idea that a fictional/imaginary exposition can hold a certain power over technology.

Clásico es aquel libro que una nación o un grupo de naciones o el largo tiempo han decidido leer como si en sus páginas todo fuera deliberado, fatal, profundo como el cosmos y capaz de interpretaciones sin término", escribió con sentido premonitorio Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986). En efecto, no ha tenido que transcurrir mucho tiempo para sus lectores atestigüen cómo el ha adquirido esa condición que linda con la mortalidad; que su vasta obra es "capaz de interpretaciones sin término" lo prueban las quince aproximaciones o lecturas críticas de esta recopilación, cuyo origen está en el deseo de conmemorar el centenario del nacimiento del escritor. Los colaboradores de este volumen tienen la certeza absoluta de que pese a la ausencia física de su autor, la literatura de Borges está hoy más presente que nunca, en la tradición cultural de Occidente e incluso más allá de estos estrechos límites geográficos. Estas lecturas críticas están hermanadas por un rasgo esencial: su amor por la obra de Borges, y desean contribuir a comprender mejor una literatura que, felizmente, suele desafiar las capacidades interpretativas de sus lectores.
