Product Details

Praise

“Hurley’s efforts at retranslating Borges are not anything but heroic. His versions are clear, elegant, crystalline.” —Ilan Stavans, The Times Literary Supplement

“[Borges’s] stories often take the outer form of some genre from popular literature, a form proved by long usage, which creates almost mythical structures.” —Italo Calvino
