"This re-focus on Borges will be a timely update, given the 'new-historical' climate of current criticism in this country. And, given the writer at hand, at the hands of an ideal reader like Balderston, historical points show up from the most literarily sensitive symptomatic readings."--Doris Sommer, Harvard University
