"I’ve only read the first few essays, and I am hooked!
Having read Labyrinths a few years ago, I must admit that I was intimidated by Borges, by his erudition, by his at times esoteric style.
But so far his essays are quite accessible, a pleasure to read.
I also bought the Penguin deluxe editions of Collected Fictions and Selected Poems, and I look forward to grazing on these books in the coming years." — Sep 06, 2026 06:48PM
