Heh, the history I have with Tlon..
I started off with the game, a game from 1999, called Tlon: A misty story.
A game that had an inbuilt glitch that didn't allow you to finish it.
I played it with my father, uknown to this glitch for around 5 years.
Untill my parents split up and I didn't play it anymore.
heh, I even lost the game, and had to buy it again through the internet recetnyl.
Back in the day, we were so into the game we searched for everyone that knew anything about this game, and untimetly, the internet. And there I found out about Borges's book.
I just bought the book recently, and the nostalgia I got from it was so great...
To see art inspired by this book,
I'm sorry I wrote all of this, but I just really wanted to thank you for expressing your artistic knoledge uppon this piece of literature that filled my childhood so greatly ^^

That's amazing, I knew nothing of this game. What a positively Borgesian story. The protagonist discovers a game which he cannot finish. Unbeknown to him, there is no exit. Later he discovers that a book has been written on which the game must have been based, but the book itself is about another book which has never been finished. Scholars are completing it, even as we read about the game player. When it is eventually finished a new or previously undiscovered portal is discovered in the game. What will the player find if he goes through it? The answer to every mystery in the Universe? Or will it be a new and higher game level?

Heh, well.
In order so that you would not bother in the dephs of my history of my chidlhood, I took out several notes that regard this game and this book.
I am still to rejoin with my father to complete the game,
because see, there is a way for one to reach the end, but I've been saving up that untill I have my father with me.
This all spurted from the fact that I obtained both the game and the book anew recently.
I even fear what I might find in the end of the game, so far, all that I've experienced in the game, and my fatehr being the one who drove all of this knoledge to me, I wonder if I can even begin to understand what it's meant to teach.
I must finish reading the book...
I can't finish the game without knowing what inspired it.
Gosh, you are truly an imense visualist,
thank you so much for the elaboration of my most important childhood's story ^^

I don't know why I called it that. The title just popped into my head when I saw the finished piece. Of course. I think Borges was arguably the first and greatest of the magical realists. If you look in thre 'SF Fantasy' folder of our gallery you will find subfolders for SF and fantasy fiction 'fan art' [link] . There are bound to be a few surprises in there.
