Borges and the Avant-garde of the 1920’s: Three Banished Books
Abstract
After Jorge Luis Borges’s death, what we could call his ‘invisible work’ eventually reappeared: three books of essays published in the 1920’s whose reedition he categorically banned during his life. Throughout these pages, we will delve into the cultural context of the essays and Borges’s reasons for writing them. In addition, we will examine the main topics and interests of the author in these volumes, since many of them are the germ of some fascinating issues of his future writings. Therefore, we will try to deal with Borges’s work in its continuity and to understand the possible reasons that led him to banish these texts until his deathding
