An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool
University Press website and through Knowledge Unlatched. The
Argentine Jorge Luis Borges, one of the most sophisticated writers
of the twentieth century, suffered from sexual impotence. This
emotionally overwhelming condition shaped his literary experience
in ways that have not been understood. Until now Borges has largely
been considered an asexual author who could not read, think, or
write about desire and sex, but in this book historian Ariel de la
Fuente shows that sexuality was a major preoccupation for him, both
as a reader and as an author. De la Fuente has conducted an
extensive literary investigation in Borges's figurative erotic
library and presents for the first time a study of the relationship
between Borges's sexual biography, his erotic readings, and the
writing of desire and sex in his work. The author explores relevant
literary questions while employing a historical method and the book
is truly an interdisciplinary study at the intersection of history
with Latin American, European, and Eastern literatures, poetry,
philosophy, and sexuality. Argued with clarity, Borges, Desire, and
Sex offers an unexpected perspective on the literature and figure
of a world-wide influential author.
