Description
This new biography of Jorge Luis Borges reveals the human side of one of the key figures in twentieth-century culture. It shows Borges in love and in despair through to Borges's political passions. Drawing on fascinating new sources, the book seeks to transform conventional views of this enigmatic genius.
It also looks closely at his family background, which included a slew of famous Army heroes, and at his own decision to devote his own life to liberal causes as a writer and a thinker. Using interviews, documents, and much heretofore unavailable material, Edwin Williamson concentrates on Borges the man, digging deeply into his loves, hates and obsessions, for a complete portrait of one of Argentina's great artists.
