A Universal History of Infamy is Borges’ inventive blend of fact and fiction, presenting a series of imaginative, semi-historical sketches about real and legendary criminals, swindlers, and outcasts. Written in a playful and ironic tone, the stories reinterpret obscure lives through Borges’ unique literary lens, turning minor historical figures into larger-than-life characters. The collection explores themes of deceit, identity, and narrative truth, marking Borges’ early experimentation with style, form, and the boundaries between fiction and reality.
