United States Editorial Review
Borges: Selected Non-Fictions is a translated anthology of Jorge Luis Borges' non-fiction writings including essays, book reviews, literary critiques, film reviews, prologues, lectures, biographies and notes on World War 2. This book offers a wide range of topics about what well-read literary and philosophical people in the 20th century thought about. The contents covers an impressive variety such as the concept of eternity, infinity, reflection, unrealness, labyrinths, and adumbrations. It inspires readers to expand their knowledge and explore new authors as Borges' writing style is captivating and stimulating. He is a genius in the genre with his depth of knowledge, extensive vocabulary and range of images. Borges was a master in literature allowing him to collate and synthesise historic and modern literature in multiple languages. He had an imaginative and speculative imagination, a subtle wit and fine thinking, and therefore earned the title of being one of the giants of the 20th century. The book is well-written and the paper quality is high, printed on unusually high-quality, slightly creamy paper with a slightly ragged edge. However, if you only have time to read one English-language Borges book, it is suggested to read his "Collected Fictions."
