LUTAS, Liviu. Paradox and Narrative Metalepsis in Jorge Luis Borges's short story "The Other". Tóp. Sem [online]. 2015, n.34, pp.131-153. ISSN 2594-0619.
In this article the author investigates the relation between paradox and narrative metalepsis, on the basis of Jorge Luis Borges's short story "The Other". There is a paradoxical dimension in metalepsis because of the transgression of the borders between the narrator's world and the narrated world, two worlds which should be ontologically separated. However, there are some subclasses of metalepses in which the transgression is not of an ontological kind. Borges's story is exemplary to illustrate and problematize the classifications of metalepsis and to show how uncertain it could be to classify a narration type on the basis of the paradox criterion.
