Who wrote the short story collection 'Ficciones'?

Jorge Luis Borges wrote the short story collection Ficciones.

First published in Spanish in 1944, Ficciones brought together stories from two earlier books, El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan and Artificios. Its imaginative narratives explore labyrinths, infinite libraries, invented worlds, unreliable texts, mirrors, identity, and the nature of reality.

Borges was an Argentine writer, not a Mexican or Chilean author. The collection is sometimes confused with The Aleph, another major Borges story collection published in 1949. Adolfo Bioy Casares was Borges’s close friend and frequent collaborator, which explains why his name can appear alongside Borges in discussions of Argentine literature, but he did not write Ficciones. Julio Cortázar and Ernesto Sabato were also important Argentine writers, yet neither is the collection’s author.
