Jorge Luis Borges
Argentine writer and poet who created labyrinthine fictions exploring infinity, time, and the nature of reality. Borges' short stories in Ficciones and The Aleph blend philosophy, mathematics, and mythology into dense, intellectual narratives. His blindness in later life led to a focus on oral poetry and memory. Borges' influence on postmodern literature and magical realism is foundational despite never receiving the Nobel Prize.
