Otras inquisiciones

Otras inquisiciones, in English Other Inquisitions, is a collection of essays and short prose pieces. Borges writes about writers and ideas, among them Dante, Cervantes, Kafka, Chinese and Anglo-Saxon literature, and paradoxes of time and infinity. His tone is curious, learned and often humorous, and he treats the history of literature as a single web of echoes. The book is a good guide to the thinking behind his fiction.
