Where possible, translations of Borges’ fictions will be taken from The Aleph and Other Stories 1933-1969 [Borges, 1971]; they are limited in number but, because of the involvement of Borges and Norman Thomas di Giovanni, they are taken to have the greater authority; in the opinion of Emir Rodriguez Monegal, a close friend of Borges, these translations are ‘the best one can ask for’ [461]; furthermore, this book contains Borges’ ‘Autobiographical Essay’, together with his Commentaries on each story.

  • Introduction

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19339-9 - The Cambridge Companion to Jorge Luis Borges Edited by Edwin Williamson Excerpt More information EDWIN WILLIAMSON Introduction Jorge Luis Borges was one of the great writers of the twentieth century and the most infl uential author in the Spanish language of modern times. He had a seminal infl uence on Latin American literature and a lasting impact on literary fi ction in many other languages. Although a poet and essayist, he was best known for his fi cciones – short stories or prose texts whose brevity condensed mental play into reverberating images and situations. Rejecting the constraints of psychological or social realism, Borges encour- aged writers to accept fi ction as a self-conscious artifact, susceptible to fan- tasy and to overtly intellectual, and even philosophical, concerns. Borges challenged the supremacy of the novel in the hierarchy of modern literature: he favored modes of storytelling which had long preceded the novel – fable, epic, parable, and folktale – as well as subgenres such as thrillers, science fi ction, and detective stories. He also blurred generic categories by bringing book reviews, scholarly essays, and footnotes within the bounds of fi ction. Even metaphysics and theology, he famously observed, could be regarded as branches of the literature of fantasy. Borges’s interest in metaphysics and literary ideas fostered the impres- sion that his work belonged in a kind of literary utopia, divorced from per- sonal experience or historical reality. This impression was underscored by the blindness which affl icted him a few years before he became famous, and which lent him the aura of an otherworldly, sightless bard.

Williams All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Boreal Borges Jonathan C. Williams Department of Humanities, Classics, and Comparative Literature, BYU Master of Arts Jorge Luis Borges’s story “El Zahir” describes a moment where the protagonist finds rest from his monomania by reworking one of the central texts in Old Germanic myth, the story of Sigurd and Brynhild. The approach taken here by the protagonist is the paradigm used in this thesis for understanding Borges’s own strong readings of Old Germanic literature, specifically Old Scandinavian texts. In chapter one, a brief outline of the myth of Sigurd and Brynhild, with a particular emphasis on Gram, the sword that lied between them, is provided and juxtaposed with Borges’s own family history, focusing on the family’s storied military past.

    HARSTAD / Max, Mischa & The Tet Offensive “Sometimes I think if David Foster Wallace had finally been able to write the novel he'd dreamed of, it would read something like Max, Mischa & The Tet Offensive. It's a sprawling novel of ideas and information and pop culture, but it is also a love story folded into a tale of political change. What a big gulp of history Harstad takes on, and brilliantly shows what it feels like to live through – the unseparateness of it. The eerie feeling of inevitability giving way to a new reality frame. This is also one of the best family dramas I've read in some time, because it remembers that a story is essential to family life. Who are we and what are we for? Harstad asks this question of his cast so many different ways the novel begins to feel, in its sprawling uncertain outcome, like it has the grainy flicker of life itself.” – JOHN FREEMAN (author/editor/critic) – 2 HARSTAD / Max, Mischa & The Tet Offensive "There are many ways to say this, but this is probably the simplest: Max, Mischa & The Tet Offensive is a great novel." – JO NESBØ (Author) – 3 HARSTAD / Max, Mischa & The Tet Offensive – Table of contents – Praise for MAX, MISCHA & THE TET OFFENSIVE ................................ 5 Foreign sales of novel ...................................................................... 6 Overview of novel.............................................................................. 7 Novel’s table of contents .................................................................. 8 Synopsis & samples pages ...............................................................

Though Cisneros is one of the most popular women writers in the United States, the first Chicana writer to be published by a major New York publishing house and an important influence for a new generation of writers, she has been dismissed by many critics as not a serious writer, or primarily a testimonial writer. By linking her writing with Borges, I present her as a United States descendent of the Latin American literary tradition that gained worldwide acclaim during the so-called Latin American literary boom of the 1960s.
