If I could see, I would never leave the house, I’d stay indoors reading the many books that surround me.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e—Jorge Luis Borges\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDays before his death, Borges gave an intimate interview to his friend, the Argentine journalist Gloria Lopez Lecube. That interview is translated for the first time here, giving English-language readers a new insight into his life, loves, and thoughts about his work and country at the end of his life.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Accompanying that interview are a selection of the fascinating interviews he gave throughout his career. Highlights include his celebrated conversations with Richard Burgin during Borges's time as a lecturer at Harvard University, in which he gives rich new insights into his own works and the literature of others, as well as discussing his now oft-overlooked political views. The pieces combine to give a new and revealing window on one of the most celebrated cultural figures of the past century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Melville House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47177170092272,"sku":"9781612192055","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781612192055_p0.jpg?v=1763844639","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781612192055","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
