The article considers the depiction of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina in the poems of Argentine poet and author Jorge Luís Borges. The author explores how Borges wrote about his native city and its modernization in the early 20th century, noting his literary representation of what had not changed, his lack of depiction of crowds and urban growth, and his historical sense of what had been lost.
