Tracing the development of Borges' metaphysics through a close reading of his work, this volume examines his philosophical worries, reflections, and musings as they appear in his fiction, essays, and poetry. With particular attention to problems of time and the self, the book recounts a life-long philosophical journey reflected in literature. Bossart taught philosophy at the University of California, Davis. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
