If I could see, I would never leave the house, I’d stay indoors reading the many books that surround me.”\n—Jorge Luis Borges\n\nDays before his death, Borges gave an intimate interview to his friend, the Argentine journalist Gloria Lopez Lecube. That interview is translated for the first time here, giving English-language readers a new insight into his life, loves, and thoughts about his work and country at the end of his life.\n\nAccompanying that interview are a selection of the fascinating interviews he gave throughout his career. Highlights include his celebrated conversations with Richard Burgin during Borgess time as a lecturer at Harvard University, in which he gives rich new insights into his own works and the literature of others, as well as discussing his now oft-overlooked political views. The pieces combine to give a new and revealing window on one of the most celebrated cultural figures of the past century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Melville House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984100978741,"sku":"ByrdShop_1612192041","price":91.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781612192048_71392975-e5b3-426d-9145-da9289249ea7.jpg?v=1778829780","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/jorge-luis-borges-the-last-interview-and-other-conversations-the-last-interview-series-9781612192048","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
