Sold along w/used VG 1970 paperback of Richard Burgin's CONVERSATIONS w/JLB. "As Jorge Luis Borges conceived of it, A UNIVERSAL HISTORY OF INFAMY was to be no more than light entertainment. Yet after the book appeared in 1935 its influence on the fiction of Latin America was so profound that its publication date has become a landmark in the history of Latin American literature. Ostensibly a series of factual accounts about the lives of noted scoundrels, the book in actuality marked the debut of Borges as a storyteller, using that unique blend of fact, fiction, and pseudo-scholarship that later came to full expression in Borges's world-famed short stories. Valuable and important for what it tells us about Borges's mind and method, A UNIVERSAL HISTORY OF INFAMY manages, at the same time, to fulfill delightfully Borges's original intention. It is, indeed, a first-rate entertainment."
