Jorge Luis Borges

At the age of seventy, after a gap of twenty years, Jorge Luis Borges returned to writing short stories. In Brodie's Report, he turned back also to the style of his earlier years with its brutal realism, its nightmares, and its bloodshed. Many of these stories, including 'Unworthy' and 'The Other Duel,' are set in the macho Argentinean underworld, although even the rivalries between academics or artists are suffused with suppressed violence. Throughout, opposing themes of fate and free will, loyalty and betrayal, time and memory flicker in the recesses of these compelling stories, which are among the best Borges ever wrote.
