Con agudeza e infinita paciencia, Sergio Waisman rastrea la marca de la traducción en Borges. Más que mera práctica- el autor analiza varias de las deleitosamente arbitrarias versiones hechas por el propio Borges- la traducción, propone Waisman, es un concepto crítico fecundo, que significa para Borges una manera de leer y pensar la literatura: la única posible.- Sylvia Molloy
Excellent first novel. Sergio Waisman knows how to follow the traces that Borges leaves for us. He recounts his relationship with his two languages and his two cultures as if they formed part of a family novel.- Ricardo Piglia
