In this interview we will explore the work and life of the writer Jose Luis Borges. You may have never heard of this Argentinian writer but many critics consider him to be one of the most influential novelists of the 20th century. In this conversation we will try to answer the questions why does Jose Luis Borges matter and what does it mean for something to be Borgesian. Furthermore we will explore the implications of the potentially unlawful publication restrictions that were placed on some of his most beloved translations. If you are anything like me, you will be surprised by just how Borgesian your every day existence feels, you just never knew the right word to describe it.
