3 years ago There could be a few things happening. One is it looks like you haven’t configured the default bibliography as a list of strings. That is what the top of your trace back indicates.
Second you probably don’t have the biblatex dialect set in the bibtex file. That is how emacs knows which types are correct.

Ses travaux dans les champs de l'essai et de la nouvelle sont considérés comme des classiques de la littérature du xxe siècle.

If I change the entry to to e.g. book (so that the first line becomes @book{Bujot2013JorgeLuisBorges,) and reinsert a citation to it, org-ref works fine.
My understanding is that, while org-ref doesn't not officially support BibLaTeX, users haven't generally reported problems with BibLaTeX entries, so I'm not sure what's going on. (Unfortunately, I can't switch to BibTeX, since a sizeable portion of the entries I need to cite need to include the day of publication, whereas BibTeX only supports month and year.
