Borges at Eighty: Conversations

Borges at Eighty: Conversations

A collection of interviews now available from New Directions for the first time

The words of a genius: Borges at Eighty transcends our expectations of ordinary conversation. In these interviews with Barnstone, Dick Cavett, and Alastair Reid, Borges touches on favorite writers (Whitman, Poe, Emerson) and familiar themes â€” labyrinths, mystic experiences, and death â€” and always with great, throw-away humor. For example, discussing nightmares, he concludes,â€œWhen I wake up, I wake to something worse. Itâ€™s the astonishment of being myself.â€
