1%% * AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: "Three Versions of Judas" boasts this.
2* AwardSnub: Borges never got a Nobel prize for literature. Supposedly he was in the running, but was told not to go to Chile and meet with UsefulNotes/AugustoPinochet. Borges not only met with Pinochet, but praised him for his tough stance on communism, and was subsequently removed from the Nobel prize list.[[note]]For the record, Pinochet's "tough stance on communism" involved the murder of between 1,200 and 3,200 Chilean citizens and the torture of tens of thousands.[[/note]]
3* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The end of "The Rose of Paracelsus".
4* HilariousInHindsight: "The Garden of Forking Paths" basically predicts {{Gamebook}} novels. And in an amusing case of shared names, a character in said story is named Creator/RichardMadden.
