The groundbreaking trans-genre work of Argentinian writer Jorge
Luis Borges (1899-1986) has been insinuating itself into the
structure, stance, and very breath of world literature for well
over half a century. Multi-layered, self-referential, elusive, and
allusive writing is now frequently labeled Borgesian. Umberto Eco's
international bestseller, The Name of the Rose, is, on one level,
an elaborate improvisation on Borges' fiction "The Library," which
American readers first encountered in the original 1962 New
Directions publication of Labyrinths. This new edition of
Labyrinths, the classic representative selection of Borges' writing
edited by Donald A. Yates and James E. Irby (in translations by
themselves and others), includes the text of the original edition
(as augmented in 1964) as well as Irby's biographical and critical
essay, a poignant tribute by Andre Maurois, and a chronology of the
author's life. Borges enthusiast William Gibson has contributed a
new introduction bringing Borges' influence and importance into the
twenty-first century."
