Omschrijving
Jorge Luis Borges, one of the indisputably great writers of the twentieth century, was born in Buenos Aires in 1899. Conducted between 1964 and 1984, the interviews collected in this volume reveal Borges to be a remarkably candid, humorous man, by turns skeptical and enthusiastic, and always a singularly incisive and adventurous thinker.
Richard Burgin's books include the story collections Feat of Blue Skies, Private Fame, and Man without Memory. In his first book on Borges, Conversations with Jorge Luis Borges, he was the sole interviewer. Burgin is the editor of Boulevard magazine and an associate professor of communication and English at Saint Louis University.
