"Conversations cannot and must not be missed by all lovers of Borges and readers of literature. The three beautifully produced books also feel like collector’s items. . . . The existence of these three volumes of Conversations with Borges will perhaps also calm the storms on Jupiter, change the colours of the hexagonal cloud formation on Saturn’s North Pole, spark a fresh burst of high energy gamma rays from the galactic centre and make our world a bit more imaginative, wondrous, wiser and happier."

“The ideas and reflections and conjectures documented in these pages are a kind of last word from one of literature’s true sages. . . . As a master lecturer and raconteur, Borges invariably shapes his narrative arcs in the form of parabolae rather than hyperbolae, plotting how to curve back as he brilliantly creates each looping outward thread. . . . In these dialogues—as in any genre he attempted—the fundamental unfairness of his outrageous talent is almost always a wonder and a delight.”

"The richness of this publication lies with Borges’ lengthy reflections on Argentine literature and culture. . . . There is much in these discussions that I have not found in other publications, and there are some fascinating moments, such as his recollection of meeting Quiroga. . . . This is the first volume of two, and the second volume has an equally tantalizing offering of discussions in the contents."
