Reviews
Stephens's hypothesis is tantalizing not in spite of its simplicity, but precisely because of it. For a writer so famed for his cosmopolitan erudition, what could be more counterintuitive - and indeed more refreshing - than locating within the "intellectually dense structure" of Borges's oeuvre "hidden personal gems ... an emotionally intimate expression"? * TLS *
The book provides a wealth of detail and is strongly recommended for anyone wishing to gain a deeper knowledge of the rich, strange worlds [Borges] created. * THE LINGUIST *
This is a worthwhile read for those interested in Borges's works, especially anyone wishing to learn about the ways in which Borges subtly incorporates elements from his personal life into his fictions. Stephens does indeed succeed in presenting us with readings that take these biographical aspects into account without being overly reductive. * MLR *
[...] brilliant observations about particular texts abound. -- David Laraway * BULLETIN OF SPANISH STUDIES *
