Title: One of the best J.L. Borges short story collections
Review: This collection of fairly late production contains some of the very best Borges stories.One of my favourite stories is the title story, The book of sand.The idea of a perpetually changing and endless book is simultaneously botha great dream and a nightmare for avid readers throughout the world.Borges' large literary scope - he has read an extraordinaryamount of both well and less known authors- his characteristicintroductory quotations and his extremely compact, precise languageare the main reasons that lead me to do some translations ofhis work into Finnish that may have helped to revive aninterest in this incomparable Argentian master over here.In my opinion, this book is worth not only reading bur re-reading untilthe pages turn into powder - or shall we say sand...
