Vargas Llosa's appreciation and interpretation of Borges: The inheritance and transformation of two generations of Latin American literary giants. "Vlosa on Borges: Half a Century with Borges" is a monographic literary review by 2010 Nobel Prize winner in Literature, Vargas Llosa, systematically compiling his interviews and critical essays on Jorge Luis Borges over the past 50 years. Vargas Llosa first interviewed Borges in 1963, and for the next half century, Borges provided him with "an endless source of intellectual pleasure." In this book, Llosa effortlessly maintains his respect for Borges while quietly exposing Borges's deeply hidden flaws: "Absolute perfection seems to exist nowhere in this world, not even in the creators of works of art, not even in Borges, who was so close to perfection."
Vargas Llosa's understanding of Borges underwent a transformation. As a young writer, he was drawn to interventionist writers like Sartre and rejected pure literary writers like Borges. However, his perspective gradually shifted over the years, and Borges, along with Faulkner, became one of his greatest influences. This transformation and reflection is truly fascinating. Since then, Vargas Llosa has frequently featured Borges's works in lectures and lectures around the world, exploring the content, techniques, and philosophical implications of his works. His unique perspective on the author is even more unique.
This book also includes a series of never-before-published content, including Vargas Llosa's interview with Borges and poems written by Vargas Llosa for Borges. It is a rare good book for both Vargas Llosa fans and Borges fans.
