Shelfari edited the description of Selected Non-Fictions Saturday, August 1 2009.

• This unique volume presents a Borges almost entirely unknown to American readers: his extraordinary non--fiction prose. Borges' unlimited curiosity and almost superhuman erudition become, in his essays, reviews, lectures, and political and cultural notes, a vortex for seemingly the entire universe: Dante and Ellery Queen; Shakespeare and the Kabbalah; the history of angels and the history of the tango; the Buddha, Bette Davis, and the Dionne Quints. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism Chosen International Book of the Year by George Steiner in the Times Literary Supplement
