From front inside jacket flap, "[Borges'] writings are imbued with a metaphysical fantasy that brings to mind the work of J.R.R. Tolkien.Borges' absurdist view of the universe finds voice in his best-known works--'Labyrinths', 'Dr. Brodie's Report', and 'The Book of Sand'. . ". Volume features also Contents pages, Chronology(of subject's life), Key to Collections(of subject's writings), Chapter Notes, extensive Bibliography, and Index. Thanks very much!
