Recorded during Borges’ final years, this third volume of his
conversations with Osvaldo Ferrari offers a rare glimpse
into the life and work of Argentina’s master writer and
favorite conversationalist. In Conversations: Volume 3,
Borges and Ferrari discuss subjects as diverse
as film criticism, fantastic
literature, science fiction, the Argentinian literary
tradition, and the works of writers such
as Bunyan, Wilde, Joyce, and
Yeats, among others. With his signature wit,
Borges converses on the philosophical basis of
his writing, his travels, and his fascination with religious
mysticism. He also ruminates on more personal themes,
including the influence of his family on his
intellectual development, his friendships, and living with
blindness.  The recurrent theme of these
conversations, however, is a life lived through books. Borges draws
on the resources of a mental library that embraces world
literature, both ancient and modern. He recalls the works that were
a constant presence in his memory and maps his changing attitudes
to a highly personal canon. These conversations are a testimony to
the supple ways that Borges explored his own relation to numerous
traditions—the conjunction of his life, his lucidity, and his
imagination.
