This book includes a famous interview Borges had with Richard Bergin during his tenure at Harvard University, in which he once said, "Richard Bergin made me rediscover myself." He gives insights into his own and other people's literary works, and touches on many political ideas that are often ignored today. A few days before his death, he and his friend Lecubi conducted a private interview involving his life, love, and thoughts on his works and country. It was also a "last interview" in the true sense. These interviews throughout Borges's writing career open a window for readers to understand the most famous cultural giant of the 20th century.
Reader comments
This book allowed me to see a multi-faceted Borges. His interviews covered many aspects such as literature, life and politics, showing his wisdom and unique way of thinking. I especially like his insights on literary works, which are profound and simple, and people benefit a lot. His creative style is varied and his stories are full of imagination, which makes me even more fascinated by his works.
