The lesson of the master
on Borges and his work
by Norman Thomas Di Giovanni
"Di Giovanni first met Jorge Luis Borges in 1967, when the Argentine writer was lecturing at Harvard. Impressed by di Giovanni's editorial skills, Borges invited the young translator to Buenos Aires. There, over the course of four years, the two embarked on a major translation of Borges's prose and poetry into English. This work, much of it published for the first time in the New Yorker and widely acclaimed, helped to establish Borges as the international literary figure he is today.".
"In The Lesson of the Master, di Giovanni writes movingly of their friendship and close collaboration. He draws on this unique relationship to explore Borges's work and in these insightful and often humorous essays succeeds in enlivening our understanding of the author and the man."--BOOK JACKET.
