Borges and Me:

An Encounter

Jay Parini

Pandemic Reading, Part Two – One of my all-time favorite writers: Jorge Luis Borges. One of my favorite biographers: Jay Parini. A first-person remembrance of the two meeting in an unlikely place, Scotland, and taking a life-changing road trip. How could I not eat this up? How could I not, at least, finish reading? Blame the pandemic. The toll on my powers of concentration are clear. This is a book I will set aside for now and return to when I can once again focus.
