摘要

It is a challenge to write a biography of a man who did little more than read and think, whose myopia turned to blindness in middle age, who was an auto-didact whose only real job was as a librarian, and who lived with his mother and her housekeeper in a poky Buenos Aires flat until she died at 99, when he was 75. Shortly before that, he wrote gloomily: "My father's library has been the chief event in my life.. .the truth is that I have never emerged from it." Edwin Williamson's response is to focus on what the writing of Jorge Luis Bor-ges tells us about the inner man, and vice versa. This approach has merits, for Bor-ges's work is indeed more interesting than his life, which ended in 1986-and he himself believed that "all literature is autobiographical in the last instance".
