Jorge Luis Borges was an Argentine writer, literary critic, and librarian who lived the majority of his life in Switzerland. Borges authored of 40 works and was awarded an international publishers prize Prix Formentor in 1961.

I discovered Borges the latter part of 2008, while browsing thru the suggested readings section at the library. Shakespeares Memory and The Book of Sand was the selection that caught my eye. What an excellent source of verbal nutrition. The book was so good I read it in 2 days!

An excerpt for the tasting... ".....as I climbed the stairs, I noticed that the walls were papered a deep crimson, in the style of william morris, with intertwined birds and fruit. Ulrikke entered the room first. The dark chamber had a low peaked ceiling. The expected bed was duplicated in a vague glass, and it's burnished mahogany reminded me of the mirror of the scriptures. Ulrikke had already undressed. She called me by my true name, Javier. I sensed that the snow was coming down harder. Now there was no more furniture. No more mirrors. There was no sword between us. Like sand, time sifted away. Ancient in the dimness flowed love, and for the first and last time, I possessed the image of Ulrikke."
