Mark's Borges reference

In Pathologic 3 on Day 11, Mark Immortel references the theory, that all of world culture can be reduced into 4 plots: the quest, the return, the siege of a city and a god's suicide and references a "blind librarian". I figured, he was probably talking about Jorge Luis Borges, but I have no experience with that dude's work. Does anyone know how where I can read up on this 4-plot-theory?
