Labyrinths is a classic compilation of short stories, essays, and poetic works by the renowned Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), released in 2007 by New Directions. This edition, edited by Donald A. Yates and James E. Irby, features translations both by the editors themselves and other translators, providing a rich tapestry of Borges’ multi-layered, self-referential, and allusive writing. The book includes an introduction by cyber-author William Gibson, which situates Borges’ influence in the contemporary literary landscape. With contributions such as André Maurois’ poignant tribute and a detailed chronology of the author’s life, this volume not only captures the essence of Borges’ work but also highlights its enduring impact on world literature. Labyrinths, with 240 pages, is a true literary sensation that has been insinuating itself into the fabric of modern narrative for over half a century.
