5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite books of all time., October 7, 1998
By 
cmpalmer@ingr.com (Huntsville, Alabama) - See all my reviews
I am not an avid reader of poetry, but Dreamtigers (which is about half poetry, half prose) ranks in my top five favorite books of all time. Borges never ceases to amaze me. I am always being reminded of his work as I read other books. It's actually kind of hard to put into words, but Dreamtigers is one of the most complete books ever written -- it amplifies and compliments itself and gives you a truly unique insight into the mind and the world.

Truly unique.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like the great authors, Borges writes a 1000 words in a few., August 22, 1997
A collection of poems, short stories and Borgian tales, that touches every neuron in your brain. Reading Dreamtigers was an experience out of this world. Borges writes like nature does with space/time in a black hole, he compresses ideas and thoughts into a few words

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent if you're in the proper frame of mind, October 31, 1999
dreamtigers has languished on my shelf for over a year... for some reason i just couldn't get into it. foolish me.

this little book broken into two parts- a collection of short pieces some poetry. all very brief- the longest passage occupies a little over two pages.

what i'm really struck by is how personal this collection is. i've seen borges as a towering intellect but rather cold. dreamtigers has forced me to re-evaluate this- there's tenderness, loss and affection in these works.

borges is always dazzling, and the second part is a good introduction to his poetry, of which i understand there is a lot. the introductory and appendix notes are most illuminating.
