The Book of Sand

by Jorge Luis Borges

Book Reviews

  • Reading "The Book of Sand" on what turns out to be Borges' 123rd birthday. When I first read it as a young man, it was impossible to understand how much it was an old man's book, and how very dark it is. He wore his courage so lightly.Link to Tweet
