Yes, I suppose it's similar to Herman Hesse or maybe Borges... except those two are quite cool

Borges

borges sucks ass. his book of short stories was basically "yo dawg, this reminds of a story of when I was in a bar an the old guy told me of a story that when he was a boy in a cafe, an old guy told him the story of some ancient gaucho..."

People were easier to entertain back in the day. There is also a clear line between Borges and modern short story authors like Ted Chiang who take what he started and develop it further.
