Borges: Selected Non-Fictions

Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism
 
It will come as a surprise to some readers that the greater part of Jorge Luis Borges's extraordinary writing was not in the genres of fiction or poetry, but in the various forms of non-fiction prose. His thousands of pages of essays, reviews, prologues, lectures, and notes on politics and culture€"though revered in Latin America and Europe as among his finest work€"have scarcely been translated into English.
