Alberto Manguel

"In Buenos Aires, 1964, a blind writer approaches a sixteen-year-old bookstore clerk asking if he would be interested in a part-time job reading aloud." "The writer was Jorge Luis Borges, one of the world's finest literary minds; the boy was Alberto Manguel, who was later to become an internationally acclaimed author and bibliophile." "The young Manguel spent several years reading aloud and transcribing for the enigmatic Borges. Here he recalls this time with integrity and warmth, offering us an intimate and moving portrait of one of the great literary luminaries."--BOOK JACKET.

Tempted to keep writing meaningless one sentence reviews that have the word "little" in them.

Okay, here I go again:

This is a pleasant little book about a man who read aloud to Borges for several years after Borges became blind. I learned about it in an article by Thomas Chatterton Williams.
