La traducción y las notas de Martín Hadis junto a las notables fotografías de Willis Barnstone completan en estas páginas el sensible retrato de ese misterio esencial de la literatura que conocemos como Borges. En la década final de su vida, Jorge Luis Borges emprendió una gira por los Estados Unidos con el fin de participar en una serie de diálogos organizados por varias de las universidades más prestigiosas de esa nación (Chicago, Indiana, Columbia, Boston, Harvard y el MIT). El recorrido traza una cartografía inquietante: Borges conversa sobre el sentido del universo con un astrofísico, sobre misticismo con un experto en cábala y sobre el difuso límite entre realidad y ficción con escritores y poetas. Asiste a un encuentro en el pen Club de Nueva York y concede incluso una entrevista a una personalidad televisiva: Dick Cavett. A lo largo de estos encuentros, el escritor argentino evoca sueños y pesadillas, sagas nórdicas, frases del inglés antiguo, la presencia del «otro» y el doble, y varios de sus autores favoritos, entre otros temas. El placer intelectual de la conversación lleva asimismo a Borges (por lo general, renuente a las confidencias) a revelar el significado de símbolos y tramas de varias de sus obras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Martín Hadis' translation and notes, and Willis Barnstone's remarkable photographs, build a sensitive portrait of that essential literary mystery known as Borges. In the final years of his life, Borges toured the United States participating in a series of dialogues organized by several of the most prestigious universities in the country: Chicago, Indiana, Columbia, Boston, Harvard, and MIT. The tour draws a disturbing cartography. Borges talks about the meaning of the universe with an astrophysicist, about mysticism with a kabbalah scholar, and about the blurry line separating reality from fiction with writers and poets. He attends a meeting at the Pen Club in New York City, and even gives Dick Cavett a TV interview. Throughout these encounters, the Argentine writer evokes dreams and nightmares, refers to Nordic sagas and Old English quotes, reflects on alterity, and comments on many of his favorite authors. The intellectual pleasure of these conversations also leads to the usually reserved Borges to reveal the meaning of symbols and plots in several of his works.Shipping Notes

So much fun! And typos have been fixed!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This was so much fun! Some reviews will mention that the solution is spoiled at the end or there is some misspellings but it should be fixed. In the book you get an option to go to her blog. I 100% recommend checking that and it’s where you will check your answer! I got my whole family into this book and everyone is enjoying finding the name. I definitely recommend if you want to work on something that challenges your brain!

Frustratingly fun!
Format: Paperback
Delightfully frustrating looking through pages and pages of names but it’s quite fun if you have the patience. I bought it to keep me entertained while waiting for my broken leg to heal. I was determined to find it! Looking forward to doing another one.

Pages falling out of binding.
Format: Paperback
I love the book. It’s been fun. My issue is the pages are falling out. I received the book today and every other page comes right out of the binding. I am worried I am going to lose pages.

Great mystery concept, poor paper quality
Format: Paperback
Love the concept and the book but the quality of the paper and cover just really disappoints me. Because you have to flip back and forth you’re going to be handling this a lot. I had the book at the pool and the edge got wet and the cover just delaminated and came apart.
I have really enjoyed the complexity of this mystery and cannot wait to find out who the killer is!
