The Aleph and other stories

I've been reading Edwin Williamson's "Borges a Life."  I've found it fascinating.  I've only read The Book of Imaginary Creatures which I loved.  It's kind of weird that I picked a biography of a guy I haven't really read.  I knew it was time I read more.  So I picked up some of his short stories to read.  He writes in a detached sort of way.  He has his own style and it took me a while but then I liked it.    He's not an author to skim.  The story I liked the most was "The Other Death" about a soldier who was a coward but God manages to change almost everyone's memories, that is except the narrator who remembers the truth. I found the concept of God doing that interesting.
