Borges

This life of the Argentinean writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) looks closely at his family background, which included a slew of famous Army heroes, and at his own decision to devote his own life to liberal causes as a writer and a thinker. Using interviews, documents, and much heretofore unavailable material, Edwin Williamson concentrates on Borges the man, digging deeply into his loves and hates and obsessions, for a complete portrait of one of Argentina's great artists.
