>Jorge Borge wrote in Argentine Spanish
I wouldn't say that. His work is very neutral in his two biggest books (Ficciones and The Aleph). His prose is formal with no perceptible local dialect (e.g. he even uses "tú" over "vos" from what I remember).
>made up words too which is why you’re struggling
What words did he make up? He's no Lewis Carroll, unless I read the wrong author. He was not that kind of writer. He was a cosmopolitan formalist who didn't like writing in dialect and didn't really experiment much linguistically. It's one of the reasons why his work is easily translated and world-friendly.

I speak pretty decent Spanish but I’m getting filtered by Borges trying to read it in the original Spanish. Can anyone recommend other Spanish…
