Now, new in audio and completely unabridged, the collection that made Borges a household name in the English-speaking world.
The groundbreaking trans-genre work of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) has been insinuating itself into the structure, stance, and very breath of world literature for well over half a century. Multi-layered, self-referential, elusive, and allusive writing is now frequently labelled Borgesian.
Umberto Eco's international best seller The Name of the Rose is, on one level, an elaborate improvisation on Borges' fiction "The Library", which American readers first encountered in the original 1962 New Directions publication of Labyrinths.
This new edition of Labyrinths, the classic representative selection of Borges' writing edited by Donald A. Yates and James E. Irby (in translations by themselves and others), includes the text of the original edition (as augmented in 1964) as well as Irby's biographical and critical essay, a poignant tribute by André Maurois, and a chronology of the author's life. Borges enthusiast William Gibson has contributed a new introduction, bringing Borges' influence and importance into the 21st century.

Superb narration, as It fits perfect with Borges style like a path within the Labyrinth. Clear and precise grammer is spoken here. I've had no problem understanding any words spoken by Dominic Keating, not just in his articulation but also in the pacing, context and tone. I have listened to this audiobook a few times, and have not heard any mis-pronounciations or other grammatical anomalies. This review was written 12/12/2023.
Note: being able to adjust the speed of the narration is crucial in all audiobooks so as to attune to each individuals taste.
If you have not read Borges or Pessoa, you are missing out on literature at its best. If your reading interest are in philosphy, mythology, fringe, decadent, if you appreciate true art ,...I would wholly suggest Borges and Pessoa

if you've never been exposed to Borges before, this work is an excellent place to start containing fiction, essays, and parables. That this man was never awarded a Nobel prize for literature is one of the great injustices of literary history.
Some of the very best of the incomparable Borges
