In the first book devoted to the impact made by Borges on the
contemporary aesthetic imagination, Aizenberg brings together
specially commissioned essays from international scholars in a
variety of disciplines to provide a wide-ranging assessment of
Borges's influence on the fiction, literary theory, and arts of
our time.
"Modern literary theory abounds here and the view of Borges' authority is generous. . . . The eternally compelling theme of literature and life, literature and death, is reenacted in this splendid volume of mythic proportions."--Book Reader
"Borges and His Successors is a remarkable book . . . extremely valuable for its many insights into Jorge Louis Borges (1899-1986) and his strategies for evading the conventional process of storytelling, all the while he was producing an influential body of ficciones."--Studies in Short Fiction
