If you’ve ever tried to determine which Borges books contain which of his short stories, look no further – my good friend Igor Shults has painstakingly assembled a chart of which books contain which short stories.
TLDR: If you want to obtain all of his short fiction stories, you need to buy just Collected Fictions which really contains all of them. (The stories from A Universal History of Infamy/Iniquity are present in Collected Fictions but titled differently in a way that it isn’t obvious from reading the descriptions of the books.)
You can download a spreadsheet showing which books contain which stories immediately below, or attempt to make sense of the following table.
| Story | A Universal History of Infamy/A Universal History of Iniquity | Ficciones | El Aleph | Labyrinths | The Maker/Dreamtigers* | Dr. Brodie’s Report | In Praise of Darkness | The Book of Sand | Shakespeare’s Memory | Collected Fictions |
