Author: Jorge Luis Borges ISBN: 9780811216999 Binding: paperback Section: Fiction The groundbreaking trans-genre work of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) has been i nsinuating itself into the structure, stance, and very breath of world literature for well over half a century. Multi-layered, self-referential, elusive, and allusive writing is now frequently labeled Borgesian. Umberto Eco's international bestseller, The Name of the Rose, is, on one level, an elaborate improvisation on Borges' fiction "The Library," which American readers first encountered in the original 1962 New Directions publication of Labyrinths.
