This article contains so many elements of a Borges story that by the second paragraph I assumed I was reading a work of fiction. Upon further reflection, it seems plain that, while every word of it is without doubt true, the story is a hoax.
which would be very apt for a piece about Borges.
If you've ever read his essays, you'll get the same eerie feeling of waiting for the shoe to drop while something inexplicable moves beneath the surface of the facts.
