Feeling adventurous? We're kicking off the new year with an exciting new book club for literary tourists - Blurred Words. Meetups are being hosted by our generous friends at The Beer Temple on the last Wednesday of every month. We'll be exploring some less familiar literary classics, visiting a different country each month through literature and beer. N/A options are always available as well. SPACE IS LIMITED, DM FOR ATTENDANCEAlthough his work has been restricted to the short story, the essay, and poetry, Jorge Luis Borges of Argentina is recognized all over the world as one of the most original and significant figures in modern literature.
The groundbreaking trans-genre work 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.
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 André 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.
