Professor Borges: A Course on English Literature by Jorge Luis Borges
4.0
Don’t judge me for how long I took to finish this book - it was over at the boyfriend’s, and with the pandemic I haven’t been able to be over there as much. This book is a transcription and translation of ~25 English literature lectures that Borges gave in 1966 at the University of Bueno Aires. It’s fascinating to see his opinion of the English canon, and especially how he teaches it to the students. (There are admittedly a few lectures I would have slept through, but hey, you can’t always have perfect lectures.) If you’d like to know more about Borges’ opinions about English literature, and his style of teaching, I’d recommend reading through this.
