Summary
Written in the 1960s and set against the macho backdrop of the Argentine underworld, these eleven stories--including 'Unworthy' and 'The Other Duel'--examine the effects of the unbearable, the sinister, and the inevitable as those forces alter the courses of several lives. Original.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: At the age of seventy, after a gap of twenty years, Jorge Luis Borges returned to writing short stories. In Brodie’s Report, he returned also to the style of his earlier years with its brutal realism, nightmares, and bloodshed. Many of these stories, including “Unworthy” and “The Other Duel,” are set in the macho Argentinean underworld, and even the rivalries between artists are suffused with suppressed violence. Throughout, opposing themes of fate and free will, loyalty and betrayal, time and memory flicker in the recesses of these compelling stories, among the best Borges ever wrote.
