1664 pages on Borges

[Ya Sam]

"2006 has seen a couple of books with both literary aspirations and popular 
appeal make quite the impact. No Harry Potter or The Da Vinci Code this 
year, but rather fare like Jonathan Littell's Les Bienveillantes, Kertész 
Imre's memoir K. dosszié, the forthcoming Pynchon. (There's also that 
Grass-memoir, but interest in that seems almost entirely due to non-literary 
reasons.)
       So is there any clear favourite for book of the year ?
       Oh, yes !
       Borges by Adolfo Bioy Casares, just out from Ediciones Destino (see 
their publicity page).
       1664 pages of longtime Borges-friend and -collaborator Bioy Casares' 
notebook entries devoted to their many-decade-spanning association. It's 
only available in Spanish for now (get your copy at Amazon.com), but we pray 
they're already hard at work on the translation (and we pray even harder 
that whoever bought/buys the English-language rights doesn't cut a word in 
translation (as they are wont to do ...)). "
