DESCRIPTION - The centrality of Jorge Luis Borges to the contemporary aesthetic imagination has been widely recognized, but no comprehensive study of his impact on the arts of our time has appeared. In the first book devoted to that topic, Edna Aizenberg brings together specially commissioned and translated essays from a variety of disciplines to provide a wide-ranging assessment of Borges's influence. Presenting the insights of critics from South America, France, and Germany as well as those from the United States, this collection views Borges as a redefiner of national literatures a forerunner of a new critical idiom, a dialogist with other writers, and a source of inspiration in the visual arts, particularly Latin American cinema and North American painting. Readers interested in contemporary literary theory will welcome the discussion of Borges's commonalities with major theorists such as Foucault, Derrida, De Man, and Eco, as well as the examination of Borgess impact on the fictions of Calvino, Barth, Coover, the Australian Carey, and the Latin Americans Elizondo and Sarduy. And many readers will find valuable the final section of the book, which contains two little-known lectures by Borges, translated into English for the first time; in them, Borges analyzes the Book of Job and the ideas of Baruch Spinoza, both of them fundamental to an appreciation of his literature. By offering a broad view of Borges's influence on postmodernism, deconstruction, and other contemporary intellectual currents, this collection goes far in explaining Borgess major role in contemporary culture.
