Clearly one of Borges’s favourites, and regarded by many as his first fully-fledged ficción, 1 the story was reprinted without changes in the collection El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan (1941) and in Ficciones (1944), where it would occupy second place in the table of contents, after the no less canonical, but subsequent ‘Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius’-published in Sur in March 1940. ‘Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote’ has displayed remarkable creative and critical resilience since making its first appearance in May 1939, in the Buenos Aires cultural review, Sur (number 56).
