"The Approach to Al-Mu'tasim" (original Spanish title: "El acercamiento a Almotásim") is a fantasy short story written in 1935 by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. In his autobiographical essay, Borges wrote about "The Approach to Al-Mu'tasim", "it now seems to me to foreshadow and even to set the pattern for those tales that were somehow awaiting me, and upon which my reputation as a storyteller was to be based." ==Background==
Written in 1935, "The Approach to Al-Mu'tasim" was first published as an essay in Borges's 1936 philosophical essay collection, ''A History of Eternity'' (''Historia de la eternidad''). It was labeled a short story when it was reprinted in 1942 in Borges's first short fiction collection, ''The Garden of Forking Paths'' (''El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan''), which became a subsection of ''Ficciones'' when that was published in 1944.〔 Borges described his story as "both a hoax ''and'' a pseudo-essay."〔 He borrowed from Kipling for some of the plot of the fake book.〔 The supposed publisher of the fictitious book described in the story was an actual publisher, Victor Gollancz, as was the supposed writer of the preface, Dorothy L. Sayers.〔
