Produktbeschreibung

Postcolonial Borges is the first systematic account of geo-political and postcolonial themes in the writings of Borges, from the poetry and essays of the 1920s to his later works and collections. This book shows how Borges's political and artistic temperament mark him out as a postcolonial intellectual and creative writer who is sui generis.
