Abstract

Nineteen hundred and sixty one was a year of signal importance in the career of Jorge Luis Borges. On May 1, 1961 he was awarded, jointly with Samuel Beckett, the Prix International des Editeurs. Later that same year he published Antología personal, a forty-nine piece selection of his own work dictated by personal preference, which by the fact of selection is important for an appreciation of his work. Finally in the autumn of 1961 he traveled abroad (if we except a few short trips to Uruguay) for the first time in 38 years. He was a Visiting Professor at the University of Texas at this time, and delivered a number of lectures at various universities in the United States during his sixth-month stay in that country.
