The House of Asterion
- ... that "The House of Asterion" by Jorge Luis Borges was one of the first works by a major author to examine a well-known tale from the monster's perspective? Source: "Borges's readers, of course, will inevitably be reminded of 'The House of Asterion'; prior to Borges's little fable, there is no instance of a major author so inverting the hero-monster relationship." Bell-Villada (1999), Borges and His Fiction: A Guide to His Mind and Art, p. 279.
- ALT1:... that "The House of Asterion" was written by Jorge Luis Borges in just two days? Source: "According to di Giovanni, Borges wrote it in two days in 1947." Monegal (1978), Jorge Luis Borges: A Literary Biography, p. 45.
- Reviewed: No QPQ needed.

5x expanded by DanCherek (talk). Self-nominated at 03:52, 1 February 2021 (UTC).
Five times expanded and nominated within time, all points check out, no copyvio problems, neutrally written, both hooks are suitably cited and are interesting. QPQ not needed, as explained by DanCherek. Ready to go. Moonraker (talk) 04:34, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Moonraker: Thanks for your review! Could you change the approved tick symbol from 15px to 16px? I think the 15px is preventing WugBot from moving it to the approved page. Sorry for the ping—I didn't want to directly edit the approval of my own nomination. DanCherek (talk) 22:36, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
