Selected Non-Fictions.
New York: Viking Press, 1999. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright dust jacket. The greater part of Jorge Luis Borges's extraordinary writing was not in the genres of fiction or poetry, but in the various forms of non-fiction prose. His thousands of pages of essays, reviews, prologues, lectures, and notes on politics and culture—though revered in Latin America and Europe as among his finest work—have scarcely been translated into English. The editor has selected 161 short pieces of non-fiction that Borges wrote during his early years up to his death, Two-thirds of the pieces have never appeared in English before and the rest have been newly translated for this edition.
