The six Norton Lectures Jorge Luis Borges gave in 1967-68, titled This Craft of Verse, on topics including the riddle of poetry, metaphor, storytelling, translation and a poet's creed. The recording runs over four hours.
Why HN recommends it: Strongly recommended as under-appreciated lectures showing Borges' erudition, delivered in a hypnotic voice from memory.
