Buddhism, love, Henry James, and the tango are just a few of the topics Jorge Luis Borges, Argentinas master writer, and extraordinary conversationalist, discusses in the first volume of the remarkable new series, Conversations. The eightyfouryearold blind mans wit is unending and results in lively and insightful discussions that configure a loose autobiography of a subtle, teasing mind. Borgess favorite concepts, such as time and dreaming, are touched upon, but these dialogues are not a true memoir, they are unrestricted conversations about life at present.The Argentine shortstory writer, essayist, poet and translator, contributed immensely to twentiethcentury literature, and more specifically to the genres of magical realism and fantasy. As he progressively lost his sighthe became completely blind by the age of fiftyfivethe darkness behind his eyelids held enchanting imagery that translated into rich symbolism in his work. The inner workings of his curious mind are seen vividly in his conversations with Ferrari, and theres not a subject on which he doesnt cast surprising new light. As in his tale The Other, where two Borgeses meet up on a bench beside the River Charles, this is a dialogue between a young poet and the elder teller of tales where all experience floats in a miracle that defies linear time.
