![]() ![]() For this first installment in a projected three-volume series of Borges’s work (to be followed by poetry and nonfiction collections), translator-editor Hurley has included the contents of seven previously published books (notably, the seminal Ficciones, 1944), plus previously untranslated work from the 1980s (of which Shakespeare’s Memory most successfully recapitulates Borges’s urbane bridging of temporal and imaginary “worlds”). Mirrors, labyrinths, libraries, gardens, doppelgÑngers, knife fights, and tigers recur memorably in these witty, colorful tales-which have exerted an incalculable influence on the past half-century’s fiction. ![]()
