Celebrating the centennial of his birth, Everything and Nothing compiles the most anthologized and widely read fictions by Jorge Luis Borges, a giant of world literature (John Updike, The New Yorker). Some of the narrative pieces herein contained are: Pierre Menard in which a modern writer reconstructs passages from Don Quixote that are verbally identical but read differently; The Garden of Forking Paths, an intellectual variation on the detective-story genre; and Nightmares, a lecture which, as Alastair Reid puts it, shifts from personal memories to writers, to an examination of other peoples' metaphors, to language itself. Everything and Nothing serves as a perfect introduction to Borges's genius.
