Di Giovanni collaborated with Argentine poet and prose writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) on English translations of his work during the 1970s, and wrote a memoir of that time to be appended to Borges' autobiography, which the two had worked on together. Instead, that memoir is presented here, along with seven essays on Borges, translating his work, the reception of his work, and related topics. There is no index.
