J.L. Borges - The Aleph and Other Stories, 1933-1969J.L. Borges - The Aleph and Other Stories, 1933-1969BY J.L. Borges -

The Aleph and Other Stories, 1933-1969: Together with Commentaries and an Autobiographical Essay.

Full of philosophical puzzles and supernatural surprises, these stories contain some of Borges’s most fully realized human characters.

He more than anyone renovated the language of fiction and thus opened the way to a remarkable generation of Spanish-American novelists. Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, José Donoso, and Mario Vargas Llosa have all acknowledged their debt to him. (J.M. Coetzee, The New York Review of Books)

He has lifted fiction away from the flat earth where most of our novels and short stories still take place. (John Updike)

Epistolarity: approaches to a formEpistolarity: approaches to a form

In this first book-length treatment of the broad topic of epistolary fiction, Dr. Altman explores the structures of mediation, confidentiality, readership, closure, discourse, and narrativity that make it possible to specify epistolary fiction as a genre, and uses these to ground interpretations of individual works.  Dr. Altman’s conclusion establishes the foundations for a general analysis of the formal and historical permutations of the genre within the framework of current narratological study, and her generously full critical bibliography will constitute a valuable tool for further investigation.
