Hakim, the Masked Dyer of Merv was definately one of my least favorite stories of Borges'. The title I felt, basically told all of the details we learned later on in the story. It bothered me that Borges said things in very complicated ways when it could have been much more easily stated. For example, why did he say "... his father's brother..." when he could have just said uncle. Overall, I can't say much else about this story because I didn't understand much of it.
