Conversations of Borges

About This Novel

Borges's conversations are as profound and wise as his works, and they remain timeless. The most important founder of American Spanish literature and one of the most influential classic writers of modern literature. Borges's character and conversation are at least as meaningful and witty as his works. During the last decades of his life, he traveled widely dictating poems, fables, and stories. In his travels and chats, he developed a special oral literature. The ubiquitous themes in his works are interwoven and shining in these eleven conversations, giving people a glimpse into the soul of this literary giant. This book is a poetic collaboration between three poets, Borges, Barnstone and Nishikawa, that spans time, space and language. Nishikawa began to translate and introduce Borges in the 1980s. Twenty years later, he revised and refined the translation and revised the new edition. Editor Barnstone's new work "Postscript" thirty years later re-evaluates Borges's literary legacy.
