Conversations
Jorge Luis Borges
简介
A collection of interviews now available from New Directions for the first time The words of a Borges at Eighty transcends our expectations of ordinary conversation. In these interviews with Barnstone, Dick Cavett, and Alastair Reid, Borges touches on favorite writers (Whitman, Poe, Emerson) and familiar themes ― labyrinths, mystic experiences, and death ― and always with great, throw-away humor. For example, discussing nightmares, he concludes,“When I wake up, I wake to something worse. It’s the astonishment of being myself.” 8 Black and white photographs
