Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges Acevedo (Spanish pronunciation: [xoɾxe lwis boɾxes]) (24 August 1899 – 14 June 1986) was an Argentine writer and poet born in Buenos Aires. In 1914, his family moved to Switzerland where he attended school and traveled to Spain. On his return to Argentina in 1921, Borges began publishing his poems and essays in Surrealist literary journals. He also worked as a librarian and public lecturer. Borges was bilingual, speaking both Spanish and English. He was a target of political persecution during the Peron regime.
Due to a hereditary condition, Borges became blind in his late fifties.[1] In 1955, he was appointed director of the National Public Library (Biblioteca Nacional) and professor of Literature at the University of Buenos Aires. In 1961, he came to international attention when he received the first International Publishers' Prize Prix Formentor. His work was translated and published widely in the United States and in Europe. He died in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1986.
J. M. Coetzee said of Borges: "He, more than anyone, renovated the language of fiction and thus opened the way to a remarkable generation of Spanish American novelists.
Borges once claimed that the basic devices of all fantastic literature are only four in number: the work within the work, the contamination of reality by dream, the voyage in time, and the double. These are both his essential themes--the problematical nature of the world, of knowledge, of time, of the self--and his essential techniques of construction. Indeed, in Borges's narratives the usual distinction between form and content virtually disappears, as does that between the world of literature and the world of the reader. (查看原文)
I recalled that among the Ethiopians it is well known that monkeys deliberately do not speak so they will not be obliged to work, and I attributed Argos's silence to suspicion or fear. (查看原文)

我不喜欢他的假正经学术文风可不可以？每一篇短篇都有labyrinth一字，是不是太重复了？虽然我承认很喜欢其中一些作品

八月书单。窥探Borges的宇宙论。中译本《小径分岔的花园》《阿莱夫》。了解到metafiction的无限深度与趣味，其实纯粹当作侦探小说都过得去，但比起偏注重细枝末节的推理Borges更青睐轮回反复、复制繁衍的综合假象，这或许也是他写短篇的原因之一，一旦将迂回的多重时空延展便难免失去重心。单凭委婉工整的文字也能看出其谦逊自持，看的一些采访与纪录片也确实能证实他本人是位典型英国绅士（单论精神形象）... 八月书单。窥探Borges的宇宙论。中译本《小径分岔的花园》《阿莱夫》。了解到metafiction的无限深度与趣味，其实纯粹当作侦探小说都过得去，但比起偏注重细枝末节的推理Borges更青睐轮回反复、复制繁衍的综合假象，这或许也是他写短篇的原因之一，一旦将迂回的多重时空延展便难免失去重心。单凭委婉工整的文字也能看出其谦逊自持，看的一些采访与纪录片也确实能证实他本人是位典型英国绅士（单论精神形象）。ps有几篇parable待reread。 (展开)
