Synopsis
Possessor of one of the 20th Century's most fecund--and intelligent--imaginations, Jorge Luis Borges wrote on virtually everything, and in almost every conceivable form, reflecting the encyclopedic knowledge he acquired through both a rigorous education and his career as a librarian. In honor of his centennial, this three-volume edition of his poetry, fiction, and non-fiction brings many of his writings into English for the first time, and in some cases collects pieces for the first time in any language. Alexander Coleman, Andrew Hurley, and Eliot Weinberger edited the poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, respectively.

Industry Reviews
"The 'non' of 'non-fictions' can be a discouraging prefix preparing us for sober instruction rather than the transport of aesthetic pleasure. Not so with Borges. Many of these pieces are as much products of the creative imagination as the better-known 'fictions.' What's more, they help us to understand the fictions better."
