The Spanish Christ Baltasar Espinosa is Borges "Spanish Christ." The Gospel of Mark written by Jorge Luis Borges‚ is ironically connected to the life of our Christ. There are many cosmic ironies in this portrayal being made through Espinosa. The ripe age of 33; a beard; the eagerness to listen and obey; and the pet lamb are all ironic‚ seeing how they all relate and are some of the very same characteristics our Christ had. Espinosa a medical student‚ is traveling to La Colorada in Argentina

"Araby" Knight The short story "Araby" by James Joyce could very well be described as a deep poem written in prose. Read casually‚ it seems all but incomprehensible‚ nothing more than a series of depressing impressions and memories thrown together in a jumble and somehow meant to depict a childhood infatuation. Like the sweet milk inside a coconut‚ the pleasure of this story comes only to the reader who is willing to put forth the intense effort necessary to comprehend it. Or like an onion
