¿Cuál es la clave, la contraseña o la molécula inigualable que constituye la esencia de lo borgeano? Alan Pauls hilvana, a su manera, un manual de instrucciones que da cuenta de la obra más importante de la literatura argentina. Pero más que un conjunto de ensayos críticos, El factor Borges atraviesa los principales conceptos asociados a ese universo —originalidad, tradición, biblioteca— para mapear no sólo el núcleo de sus textos, sino también la configuración de su identidad. Una búsqueda tan profunda como incesante por la imagen que el escritor proyectó durante su vida y de manera póstuma y, por supuesto, esa maquinaria perfecta que se anticipó a su tiempo y trasciende su propia sintaxis.
También lo que no siempre llegamos a considerar sobre Borges encuentra una dimensión en este libro. Incluso su perseverante naturaleza pendenciera y esas estrategias sutiles pero significativas que Pauls interpreta de manera magistral, como la aparente coquetería de quitarse sólo un año de edad para coincidir exactamente con el siglo que le tocó vivir.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An essay showing the most ludic and less solemn side of the great Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges.
What is the key, the password, or the unparalleled molecule that constitutes Borges’ essence? Alan Pauls ties together, in his own way, an instruction manual that gives an account of the most important works in Argentinian literature. But more than a collection of critical essays, The Borges Factor runs through the main concepts associated with this universe—originality, tradition, library—to not only map the core of Borges’ texts, but also the geometry of his identity. It is a quest as deep as it is relentless to find the image the writer projected during his lifetime and posthumously. And, of course, that perfect machinery that was ahead of its time and that transcends his own syntax.
Furthermore, what we never fully considered about Borges finds its own dimension in this book. Even his persistently quarrelsome nature, and those subtle yet significant strategies that Pauls interprets masterfully, including the seemingly coy act of pretending to be only one year younger to match exactly the birth of the century he lived in.
