Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Take a new look at Labyrinths, the classic by Latin America's finest writer of the twentieth century—a true literary sensation—with cyber-author William Gibson. The groundbreaking trans-genre work of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) has been insinuating itself into the structure, stance, and very breath of world literature for well over half a century. Multi-layered, self-referential, elusive, and allusive writing is now frequently labeled Borgesian. Umberto Eco's international bestseller, The Name of the Rose, is, on one level, an elaborate improvisation on Borges' fiction "The Library," which American readers first encountered in the original 1962 New Directions publication of Labyrinths. This new edition of Labyrinths, the classic representative selection of Borges' writing edited by Donald A. Yates and James E. Irby (in translations by themselves and others), includes the text of the original edition (as augmented in 1964) as well as Irby's biographical and critical essay, a poignant tribute by André Maurois, and a chronology of the author's life. Borges enthusiast William Gibson has contributed a new introduction bringing Borges' influence and importance into the twenty-first century. Synopsis:Readers are invited to take a new look at "Labyrinths," the classic by Latin America's finest writer of the 20th century--a true literary sensation--with a new introduction by cyber-author William Gibson. About the AuthorWilliam Gibson's first novel Neuromancer (1989) was a worldwide bestseller. Born in 1948 in South Carolina, Gibson is also the author of The New York Times bestseller Pattern Recognition, as well as Idora, Count Zero, Virtual Light, and All Tomorrow's Parties, and has been credited with coining the term "cyberspace."
