rating:
For a book first written in 1967, the timelessness of his entries and the sumptuous journey Borges takes his readers on is not to be missed.
As Umberto Eco quips, Borges predates the World Wide Web with entries of various length and detail, imagination and fact.
As a whole and in part, TBoIB makes both a statement and non-statements (anti-statements?) that eclipse the ambitions of many of today's writers of speculative and fantastic literature.
