Everything and nothing

Descripción

Everything and nothing compiles the finest fictions by Jorge Luis Borges. Some of the narrative pieces herein contained are "Pierre Menard" in which a modern writer reconstructs passages from Don Quixote that are verbally identical, but read differently; "The garden of forking paths," an intellectual variation on the detective story; "Nightmares," a lecture which, as Alastair Reid puts it, "shifts from personal memoriess to writers, to an examination of other peoples' metaphors, to language itself."--Cover.
