Secondo una leggenda, un dio dell'Indostan chiese a un altro dio di cedergli una delle sue 14.516 mogli. «Prenditi quella che trovi libera» fu la benevola risposta. Ma in tutti i 14.516 palazzi la moglie giaceva col suo signore, che «si era sdoppiato 14.516 volte» affinché ciascuna credesse di essere la favorita. La fonte di questo «racconto breve e straordinario», un libro apparso a Goa nel 1887, è in realtà illusoria. E grazie a Bioy Casares sappiamo come sono andate le cose: «Domani compro il libro dove l'ho letta» gli aveva detto Borges riferendosi alla leggenda. E Bioy: «No, raccontiamola noi e attribuiamola a un autore qualsiasi» - nella fattispecie, un gesuita portoghese. Così, con estro sfrenato e giocoso, hanno lavorato i due appassionati antologisti: ritagliando brani da una sbalorditiva molteplicità di opere (dal taoista Trattato del Vuoto Perfetto a Max Jacob), ricorrendo ad amene falsificazioni, inventando spudorati lemmi bibliografici e apocrifi: come le Memorie di un bibliotecario di Francisco Acevedo, alias Borges, o la magnifica Storia dei due re e dei due labirinti, sempre di Borges malgrado la depistante attribuzione. Senza peritarsi di manipolare le fonti: in un'iscrizione che evoca la verginità di Iside, un semplice «(finora)» aggiunge al referto di Plutarco una maliziosa connotazione: «nessun mortale (finora) ha sollevato il mio velo». Ma l'obiettivo è uno solo: mostrare come un'antologia di vertiginosa varietà possa racchiudere «l'essenziale di ciò che è narrazione» - vale a dire uno dei grandi piaceri che la letteratura può offrire.
