From the supplier: The Yugoslavian writer Danilo Kis and the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges share a remarkably similar vision and narrative style. Kis' 'a Tomb for Boris Davidovich' and 'The Encyclopedia of the Dead' recall Borges works such as 'A Universal History of Infamy.' However, Kis was a compassionate writer whose work is based on his religious and political consciousness whereas Borges was a sarcastic and apolitical writer. Accusations that Kis plagiarized Borges seem baseless. Kis and Borges shared a vision which made it possible for Kis to internalize what he admired of Borges work.
