I saw The Three Versions of Judas as a link in a bigger blog post and thought it was an amazing story.
After reading it, I got curious about the various aspects of the "article" and researched a little deeper some of the individuals involved and so on, and then discovered that the story was a piece of fiction by Jorge Luis Borges! Article here
And I quote:
"By writing, “we know nothing about it with any certainty, not even that it is false,” Borges comments on the futility of attempting to determine that something is either true of false, when confronting it through writing. Therefore, the moment an act is recorded, it becomes an entity of its own – neither fact nor fiction."
Genius. Well done and well and truly said.
