One of the most purely entertaining books I've ever read. Honestly, when I finished, I held it to my chest with a purr.

I was a bit nervous at the start. I mean, was this just going to be some guy capitalizing on the fact that Borges never wrote a novel? Saying to all the Borgesians who are a bit glum over the fact: "Hey everybody over here! I got your Borges novel! Your Borges stamped key chains! Borges coffee cozies! Going fast!"

Well the book was an homage, definitely, almost a piece of fan fiction, but an extremely respectful and astute one. The guy obviously knows Borges down to his fluids and neurons. At the end he crafts this letter written from Borges to the narrator, and the rhythms and diction are so spot on I had to go look at the publishing date to make SURE Borges hadn't participated somehow. No, he was dead by the time this book was written, and admits as much in the letter. The book was full of little touches and nods like that. This book distills and collects so much of what I love about Borges.

Okay, how's this for super clever? Borges stars as the sleuth in a very Borgesian detective story (it relies heavily on a mirror), set appropriately enough in Buenos Aires at a literary conference on Edgar Allan Poe, who a) invented the detective story and b) was a primary if not THE primary influence on Borges and c) was also the primary influence of H.P. Lovecraft, another Borges favorite. The puzzles in this book quickly move from forensics to philology, as you'd expect.

While Poe and Lovecraft definitely have their qualities, I'll admit they can be a little too pulpy for me. I think I like them best as busts in the library of Jorge Luis Borges. Herein lies one of the main pleasures of this book for me: examining those two writers through Borgesian eyes (excuse the irony there), through his love of semiotics, of misdirection, and of obscure and fantastic scholarship. The letter, mentioned above, was only one of the many ways that Verissimo exploited the meta-fictional "Is this this real or not?" possibilities of the story. The last word of the book is "verisimilitude" a word which I think, in its connotations toward both truth and the simulation of truth, captures the spirit of this book; and it makes me wonder if the universe is really so kind to have honestly named this author Verissimo.

The sort of novel that can be described as "fizzing," that induces a sense of effervescence thanks to affable playful clever intelligence. It's a literary murder mystery animating Borges and often referencing Poe and Lovecraft, in league to a degree with Cynthia Ozick's The Messiah of Stockholm, which reanimates Bruno Schulz. Also the sort of magical novel I read a few pages of and then find myself somehow reading something totally different on my phone. How does it do that? It triggers something that I search and then ten minutes pass and I'm like oh yeah I wanted to at least finish this section of the book. Which is why this short novel took me so long to finish -- it's not particularly dense, I just often found myself reading something else when I intended to read it. I'm sure a few dedicated concentrated reading sessions with technological gadgetry locked away would've improved my engagement and experience. Maybe another time. A case of not quite the right book at not quite the right time.

Okay you guys who've been pushing all those "bizarro" novels: take your favorite bizarro author, and Jorge Luis Borges will totally drink his milkshake. Even as a fictional character.

Borges wrote what's called "magical realism" nowadays, but while his fans may think "fantasy" is too undignified a label, Borges himself was a huge fan of science fiction, fantasy, and pulp fiction. The murder takes place at the Israfel Society Conference (Edgar Allen Poe was one of Borges's favorites), so you have Borges (a real person) fictionally attending a fictional conference studying a real author whom Borges really numbered among his influences. This book is a tribute to Borges and Borges's fiction, and Verissimo actually has the cajones to use Borges as a character in his Borges homage. In fact, the narrator is an author, addressing his narrative to Borges, and in the end, Borges answers back.

Under all this meta-fiction, the book is a locked-room murder mystery (with an unreliable narrator, another Poe element), and you can read it on that level, but you won't come close to appreciating it unless you've read a few of Borges's short stories.

Brazilian author Luis Fernando Verissimo totally nails the feel of a Borges story, and while this is a novel (Borges famously only ever wrote short stories; he wrote no novels), it's a short one, which also makes it more believable as what could have been just a really long short story by Borges. Since Borges writes the ending (... just read it) you might find yourself repeatedly checking the cover to remind yourself who the author really is.

If you haven't read anything by Borges, you are missing a treat. Go read Labyrinths or Ficciones. Then read this book. Then read some Poe or Lovecraft. Not necessarily in that order.

A true Borgesian mystery, not to be missed.

It's a very funny, entertaining, and refreshing whodunit, with more than passing references to Borges (a major character here), Poe, and Lovecraft. Vogelstein is a 50-year old translator and English teacher who adored Borges with the same fanatical zeal as the narrator of the Borges story "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote." His first "encounter" with the master was not agreeable: Vogelstein translated one of Borges's stories for a Portuguese magazine but he changed some aspects of the story to fit his own preference for how the story should proceed. Of course, Borges, upon learning of the travesty, was furious. They eventually exchanged letters, which was the start of Vogelstein's literary hero worship.

Their second encounter was face to face, in a conference about Edgar Allan Poe held in Buenos Aires. But even before the conference was to start, a murder of one of the speakers took place. The murder victim was found, in true Borgesian fashion, in front of a mirror 鈥� his body's position was such that it formed a letter from the alphabet, a clue that could point to the solution of the crime. Borges and Vogelstein were enlisted to help uncover the identity of the killer. The ensuing investigation was a riot of literary speculations, invoking the mystery stories of Poe, the Kabbalah, Necronomicon book of the dead, et cetera. This novel was criminally funny. I'm sure there were some in-jokes (Borgian, Poe-ic, Lovecrafty) that went past me, but it was altogether a solid detective work, if a bit too neat the way it all tied up, in a postmodern postmortem, in the end. Verissimo was nonetheless guilty of leading the reader into a maze of intertextual pleasures. There's a chance that a fan of Borges or Poe or Lovecraft will revel in the games and gimmickry of the Brazilian writer Luis Fernando Verissimo.

The short novel was translated by Margaret Jull Costa who was probably in top form the way she came up with words to describe the murder weapon:

You mentioned that Palermo, the part of Buenos Aires where you were brought up, had been a violent place full of bohemians and bandits. There they had two names for the knife, "the blade" and "the slicer". The two names described the same object, but "the blade" was the thing itself, and "the slicer" its function. "The blade" could fit in the hand even of a sickly child shut up in his father's library, "the blade" could be any of the superannuated daggers and swords belonging to his warrior grandfather or great-grandfather and displayed on the walls of his house, but "the slicer", the knife in the hand slicing back and forth, in and out, existed only in his imagination, in a fascinating world of rapid settlings of accounts and duels over honour, an insult or a woman, in dark streets where you never went, where no writer went, except in the literature he wrote.

Whether it's "the knife" (instrument) or "the blade" (form) or "the slicer" (function), the essence of light and dark comedy here cuts through like any sharp object.

"Solutions can always be found in libraries."

From BORGES AND THE ETERNAL ORANGUTANS by Luis Fernando Verissimo, tr. from the Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa, 2000/2004 by @ndpublishing

Our story opens with Vogelstein, a Brazilian writer and translator, who is making arrangements to travel to Buenos Aires to attend a symposium in honor of Edgar Allan Poe's work.

The first-person narrative is addressed to Jorge Luis Borges, Vogelstein's literary idol. (He even named his cat El Aleph...) and he shares his surprise to finally meet Borges, at the conference's cocktail hour. All the scholars jockey to get JLB's attention, yet Vogelstein manages to sustain it and get a personal invitation to visit Borges at his home library.

The story jumps into a literary murder mystery - who killed the Poe literary scholar at the conference?? And Vogelstein's wildest dreams come true when Borges "takes the case" and enlists his help to solve the crime. Ciphers, codes, and a lot of allusions to Borges, Poe, Lovecraft's short stories and all sorts of other intellectual pathways and tangents, and then a surprise ending...

Rollicking good time for bibliophiles, mystery lovers, and Borges fans. In other words, I absolutely loved it! So much, in fact, that I immediately bought the other Verissimo translation from New Directions, The Club of Angels (2002).

Got a real kick out of this quote from Vogelstein's perspective as to why he never got married:
"I had always thought of a permanent domestic commitment to any woman (other than Aunt Raquel) as an intellectual threat. Not that another woman would steal my soul, but she would fatally interfere with the organization of my books..." 馃槃

A complete & utter delight of a book. A Borges style mystery with some Poe, Lovecraft, infinite monkeys, & surrealism thrown in. Verissimo (meaning 'true' in Portuguese) leads you through a labyrinth of mirrors, philosophy, surrealist reasoning, ancient history, & good old-fashioned noir while spinning this marvelous mystery as you search for the truth of the matter. Excellent.

鈥淲ho knows, Volgestein, I might turn out to be John Dee鈥檚 Eternal Orangutan. I will live for ever and write everything that was ever written in the world. After all, I鈥檝e already written a good part of it.鈥�


Borges, Poe and Lovecraft, gathered by Verissimo, in a most surprising mystery novel. I really liked it.

This was an odd book. It was a murder mystery, but a lot of time was spent talking about origins of letters and theories about random things. I had a difficult time understanding a lot of it, so I didn't get as much out of the story. The main character Volgelstein, is telling the story to Borges, the reader. He goes to Buenos Aires for a conference and a much loathed man is murdered there. He then speculates with Borges who the killer is and what the symbolism left behind can be interpreted as. The ending was kind of interesting, but I was lost most of the time.
