Acerca de esta escucha

Weaving fiction with fact, fantastic matter with historical figures, Borges' frequent theme of a world where time, culture, and place converge is not only timely but pertinent in our advance toward globalization. Drawing from his multi-ethnic and -lingual upbringing in Argentina, Borges' focus on universal themes early on came to belittle the sentiments of racism and communism, earning him widespread recognition. His work is both timeless and touching, a product of deep suffering and incorrigible innocence.

Borges in 90 Minutes offers a concise, expert account of Borges' life and ideas and explains their influence on literature and on man's struggle to understand his place in the world. The book also includes a list of Borges' chief works, a chronology of his life and times, and recommended reading for those who wish to delve deeper.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A new-millenium version of Cliffs Notes...Breezy, chatty, and to the point. Perfect for those hungry for literature." ( ForeWord)
"Promise[s] to get readers up to speed...in 100 pages or so with no dumbing down." ( New York Times)

Why is Strathern so obsessed with Borges sex life?

I wish the author would have focused more on Borges' works and their importance rather than disparaging the imagery Borges used. Additionally, the author goes on and on about Borges' sex life. Mention this once or twice and I'm fine with it but Strathern mentions it every five minutes and this is supposed to be a brief summary of the author not and critique of his personal life.

Intro to Borges

This is a very good intro to or brush up/Review on Borges. The narration by the reliable Simon Vance is very well done.

Jorge Luis Borges

I learned of Borges by a reference in Stephen Mitchell's translation of the Bhagavad Gita; I am fascinated by his manipulation of time and reality. I enjoyed this book.

concise, thoughtful, enjoyable

well read with pleasant voice, nicely concise summary of Borges life and work, not fawning but kind and fair. Borges was a unique genius.

It is one of the better

It is one of the better ...in 90 Minutes books. The author has sympathy for Borges and so he is treated with respect for his work.

Excellent overview

I liked hearing about his biography, an overview of his work (I didn’t realize he was still around in the 80s!) and commentary about his stories.
