The words of a genius: Borges at Eighty transcends our expectations of ordinary conversation. In these interviews with Barnstone, Dick Cavett, and Alastair Reid, Borges touches on favorite writers (Whitman, Poe, Emerson) and familiar themes -- labyrinths, mystic experiences, and death -- and always with great, throw-away humor. For example, discussing nightmares, he concludes,When I wake up, I wake to something worse. It's the astonishment of being myself.
