This fresh and poignant portrait of Jorge Luis Borges in his later years combines spirited and philosophical conversations, biographical anecdotes, citations from poetry, and literary analysis. Willis Barnstone, a leading translator of Borges's poems and a privileged friend for more than twenty years, presents the poet-storyteller as a figure of paradox and contradictions.
