From reviews of the first edition: "A compulsively readable
account of the life and works of our greatest...writer of fantasy.
With a keen appreciation of Borges himself and a pleasant disregard
for the critical cliches, Bell-Villada tells us all we really want
to know about the modern master-from pronouncing his name to
understanding the stories." --New York Daily News "Of the scores of
Borges studies by now published in English, Bell-Villada's
excellent book stands out as one of the freshest and most generally
helpful.... Lay readers and specialists alike will find his book a
valuable and highly readable companion to Ficciones and El Aleph."
--Choice
Since its first publication in 1981, Borges and His Fiction has
introduced the life and works of this Argentinian master-writer to
an entire generation of students, high school and college teachers,
and general readers. Responding to a steady demand for an updated
edition, Gene H. Bell-Villada has significantly revised and
expanded the book to incorporate new information that has become
available since Borges' death in 1986. In particular, he offers a
more complete look at Borges and Peronism and Borges' personal
experiences of love and mysticism, as well as revised
interpretations of some of Borges' stories. As before, the book is
divided into three sections that examine Borges' life, his stories
in Ficciones and El Aleph, and his place in world literature.
