Best Borges Biography,
By Martin Monreal (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jorge Luis Borges: A Literary Biography (Hardcover)
This is the best Borges' biography I've read so far but, as usual, his biographers are not his best critics, and his life is better told by himself in a number of interviews and his own brief autobiography. Still, if you have to get one, get this one. The biographer died a few years earlier than the biographed, but the latest editions bring the chronology up to date. But yes, for a detailed "ending", you'll have to go somewhere else.
Still, Borge's life happened more inside libraries and the books he read and wrote, than in the so called "real" world. So, read his books first. |
