Borges in His Diary: 1931-1989

About This Novel

In 1931, Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) and Adolfo Bioy Casares (1914-1999) established a profound friendship full of literary color. This irreconcilable friendship also had a profound impact on Spanish literature. Since 1947, Bioy began to meticulously record the "seemingly endless and passionate conversations" between the two men that took place almost every day. He continued to write for forty years, and this enthusiasm led to the masterpiece "Borges in the Diary: 1931-1989". This book retains the essence of Borges's eloquent remarks, and also includes his comments on some characters, events and evaluations of writers' works. The subject covers a wide range of topics, not just limited to the field of literature. As writer Martino said: "Through Bioy's writing skills, readers are led into the literary world and into the ideological world of this writer who is known for being complex, profound and even elusive."
