The Many Faces of Borges

Jorge Luis Borges—“invented” in collaboration with virtually everyone, including himself—defies easy identification. In this birthday tribute, which begins with the master reading his classic Borges and I, the then-80-year-old short story writer, poet, essayist, and philosopher joins TV and radio personality Antonio Carrizo in a Borgesian discussion of the multiplicity of existence; the influence of his family, his friends, and writers from the past; his love of language; and the elusive Nobel Prize. Guests Roy Bartolomeo and María Kodama add insights into Borges as a lecturer and scholar, the universality of his writings, and even his blindness. (Spanish with English subtitles, 82 minutes)
