Sharing a Dream : The Lucid Dreamscapes of Jorge Luis Borges and Can Xue

Møller-Olsen, Astrid LU (2016) Exploring the China Dream
Abstract
In particular, I look at how traces of Zhuangzi’s butterfly dream appear in the oneiric fictions of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, and how, in turn, Borges’ dream-worlds have inspired Chinese author Can Xue to create a new kind of literary dreamscape.
