Part memoir, part biography, and a celebration of the living quality of literature, the author's reflections on the works of Borges, and of the writers he admired, form a portrait of this enigmatic figure, and describe an important stage in the formation of a world-class reader.
In Buenos Aires, 1964, a blind writer approaches a sixteen-year-old bookstore clerk asking if he would be interested in a part-time job reading aloud.
The writer was Jorge Luis Borges, one of the world''s finest literary minds; the boy was Alberto Manguel, who was later to become an internationally acclaimed author and bibliophile.
The young Manguel spent several years reading aloud and transcribing for the enigmatic Borges. Here he recalls this time with integrity and warmth, offering us an intimate and moving portrait of one of the great literary luminaries.
