Dreamtigers Texas Pan American Series Jorge Luis Borges Antonio Frasconi Mildred Boyer Harold Morland Miguel Engui­danos 9780292715493 Books

This was one of the few books of Borges that I haven't read (over and over).
The selection of aphorism-stories and poetry in this book does not have the immaculate, carved-to-perfection quality characterizing better-known stories of Borges, they almost read like early drafts at times. At times, this feels just as enjoyable and even refreshing, at other times I found myself missing the Borges-virtuosity, say, in Aleph.
That being said, it's a quick, and overall amusing read for any Borges fan (but not recommended as an introduction to his works).

Dreamtigers Texas Pan American Series Jorge Luis Borges Antonio Frasconi Mildred Boyer Harold Morland Miguel Engui­danos 9780292715493 Books Reviews

This is supposedly the book that Borges thought his most intimate and personal. Each small story, sketch, parable, poem provides insight into the imagination of one of the great literary creators of all time. His ability to condense into a few lines or paragraphs - worlds of theme and question are unmatched except by his holy predecessor Kafka.
'El Hacedor' 'The Maker' the title - story is of course who Homer and Shakespeare and Borges are and are not. In Borges perhaps most famous essay- story- reflection- poem 'Borges and I' he considers the relationship between the person he is , and the name he has become- and he playfully puts down the legend while understanding it is already confounded with the real passing Borges.
To read this work and his work is to come alive to new possibilies in Literature in Imagination and in Life.
A true creation is a great gift of life.
Borges gives us Borges and much much more besides.
Jorge Luis Borges will be remembered as one of the outstanding writers of the twentieth century. I am continually awed by his imagination, by his incredible breadth, and by his command of language.
At one point Borges considered this particular collection of miscellany - odd poems, stories, parables, sketches, fragments, and fictional quotations - to be a mirror of his life, and even possibly a work that would outlast his widely admired Ficciones and El Aleph. Dreamtigers is indeed fascinating, but it likely to be more fully appreciated by readers already familiar with Borges. A reader new to Jorge Luis Borges might begin with Ficciones, The Aleph, Labyrinths, or Seven Nights.
The prose was translated by Mildred Boyer and the poetry by Harold Morland. The arrangement is by Borges himself, and reflects an association of ideas, not a chronological grouping. Any reader acquainted with his works undoubtedly recognizes that Borges often returns to favorite themes in various guises, sometime deliberately, other times unintentionally.
This collection seems more personal and biographical than his better known works. The dedication is to an Argentine poet, long dead, that Borges once unreservedly criticized. The essay Dreamtigers is a personal reflection on the limits of creativity. The Draped Mirrors is a haunting recollection about a friend that suffered a uniquely personal (from Borges perspective) mental illness. Borges and I explores the confused identity of Borges the writer and Borges the man. Other essays are less biographical, and reveal his deep fascination with the thoughts and ideas of other writers, especially Homer, Dante, Plato, Coleridge, and Cervantes.
Dreamtigers is evenly divided between prose and poetry. Borges began his literary career as a poet and only gradually moved to prose. Amazingly, his poetry is as remarkable as his prose. Many poems reflect his vast knowledge and interests - the inevitable passage of time, the game of chess, mirrors, Anglo-Saxon grammar, and Ariosto and the Arabs. Others are more biographical, often touching on themes that were also subjects of essays. The poetic translation by Harold Morland is excellent.
As a 42-year-old who suspects he may suffer from the (fictitious?) adult-onset ADHD, I couldn't ask for more than this book. It's short, and there are only 54 little stories and poems (the longest of which i think is three pages), but it took me a while to read. Borges has a certain efficiency in communicating. Single phrases fire the imagination. More than one night I would sit down in a comfortable chair determined to finish; yet each night his words inspired my thoughts to wander, and I would rarely get through five pages.

I recommend this to anyone who enjoys thinking about things. I further recommend that you only read one poem or story per week. Start on Sunday night. Read it another couple of times as it suits you. Give yourself time to think on it.
Perhaps this is the best book by Borges.
I read a couple of entries and am delighted with it, inspired me to write. I recommend it to anyone who loves the magico-realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
a classic treasure...
Perhaps I should not be the one providing a review as I am not an expert on prose and poetry. I am a fan of Borges based on my trip to Buenos Aires, so I have been reading his books over the last year. This one, as usual, is enjoyable and full of historical tidbits of Argentina that make it fun to read.
