SYNOPSIS
"Believe me: the benefits of blindness have been greatly exaggerated. If I could see, I would never leave the house, I’d stay indoors reading the many books that surround me."
—Jorge Luis Borges
Days before his death, Borges gave an intimate interview to his friend, the Argentine journalist Gloria Lopez Lecube. That interview is translated for the first time here, giving English-language readers a new insight into his life, loves, and thoughts about his work and country at the end of his life.
Accompanying that interview are a selection of the fascinating interviews he gave throughout his career. Highlights include his celebrated conversations with Richard Burgin during Borges''s time as a lecturer at Harvard University, in which he gives rich new insights into his own works and the literature of others, as well as discussing his now oft-overlooked political views. The pieces combine to give a new and revealing window on one of the most celebrated cultural figures of the past century.
From the Trade Paperback edition.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Luis Borges nasceu em Buenos Aires, em 1899. Cresceu no bairro de Palermo, «num jardim, por detrás de uma grade com lanças, e numa biblioteca de ilimitados livros ingleses».
Em 1914 viajou com a família pela Europa, acabando por se instalar em Bruxelas, e posteriormente em Maiorca, Sevilha e Madrid. Regressado a Buenos Aires, em 1921, Borges começou a participar ativamente na vida cultural argentina.
Em 1923, publicou o seu primeiro livro — Fervor de Buenos Aires — mas o reconhecimento internacional só chegou em 1961, com o Prémio Formentor, seguido por inúmeros outros. A par da poesia, Borges escreveu ficção (é sem dúvida um dos nomes maiores do conto ou da narrativa breve), crítica e ensaio, géneros que praticou com grande originalidade e lucidez.
A sua obra é como o labirinto de uma enorme biblioteca, uma construção fantástica e metafísica que cruza todos os saberes e os grandes temas universais: o tempo, «eu e o outro», Deus, o infinito, o sonho, as literaturas perdidas, a eternidade — e os autores que deixam a sua marca.
Foi professor de literatura e dirigiu a Biblioteca Nacional de Buenos Aires entre 1955 e 1973.
Morreu em Genebra, em junho de 1986.
