- Synopsis
- The acclaimed author of García Márquez delivers &“a compulsively readable account of the life and works of our greatest . . . writer of fantasy&” (New York Daily News). Since its first publication in 1981, Borges and His Fiction has introduced the life and works of this Argentinian master-writer to an entire generation of students, high school and college teachers, and general readers. Responding to a steady demand for an updated edition, Gene H. Bell-Villada has significantly revised and expanded the book to incorporate new information that has become available since Borges&’ death in 1986. In particular, he offers a more complete look at Borges and Peronism and Borges&’ personal experiences of love and mysticism, as well as revised interpretations of some of Borges&’ stories. As before, the book is divided into three sections that examine Borges&’ life, his stories in Ficciones and El Aleph, and his place in world literature. &“Of the scores of Borges studies by now published in English, Bell-Villada&’s excellent book stands out as one of the freshest and most generally helpful . . . Lay readers and specialists alike will find his book a valuable and highly readable companion to Ficciones and El Aleph.&” —Choice
