'Entertaining, insightful, concise ... a generous overview of Argentina's most important literary son ...' readysteadybook.com 'This delightful book provides readers a key to more than one secret room of Borges's magical worlds.' Mahmud Darwish 'Alberto Manguel is to reading what Casanova was to sex.' Scotland on Sunday 'THE MASTER AND MANGUEL ... Manguel may be the most learned reader writing at the moment.' The Globe and Mail '... his stories about Borges ... [are] wrapped in luminous poetry ... some will find Manguel's insights priceless.' The Toronto Star

In Buenos Aires, 1964, a blind writer in his sixties approaches a sixteen-year-old bookstore clerk and asking if he would be interested in a part-time job reading aloud. The writer was Jorge Luis Borges, one of the world's finest literary minds; the boy was Alberto Manguel, who was later to become an internationally acclaimed author and editor and bibliophile. The young Manguel spent several years reading aloud and transcribing for the enigmatic Borges. Here he recalls this time with integrity and warmth, offering us an intimate and moving portrait of one of the great literary luminaries.
