About this listen
The Philosophical Detective’s Last Case
The fabulist and detective who calls himself Jorge Luis Borges returns to New England for three final adventures, as recollected by his assistant Nick Martin almost fifty years later. Struggling with cognitive issues of his own, Nick recounts Borges’s encounter with the conundrums of memory and identity in the amnesia ward of a Boston hospital, the perplexities of modern science at a conference of physicists in New Hampshire, and the ironies of fate at a media mogul’s suburban mansion. As usual he infuriates the police, baffles the perpetrators, and astonishes the reader. Nick grapples with Schrödinger’s cat, Don Quixote’s Dulcinea, and the Buddhist sage Nagarjuna as he begins to grasp the message Borges has been trying to convey to him since they first met.
"Between the story's compelling evolution, its delightful and whimsical character interactions and jokes, and its unexpected connections between philosophy and mystery, the result is quite simply a delight and a standout in the mystery genre's usually-staid world." - Midwest Book Review
