Overview
ĀæCuĆ”l es la clave, la contraseƱa o la molĆ©cula inigualable que constituye la esencia de lo borgeano? Alan Pauls hilvana, a su manera, un manual de instrucciones que da cuenta de la obra mĆ”s importante de la literatura argentina. Pero mĆ”s que un conjunto de ensayos crĆticos, El factor Borges atraviesa los principales conceptos asociados a ese universo āoriginalidad, tradiciĆ³n, bibliotecaā para mapear no sĆ³lo el nĆŗcleo de sus textos, sino tambiĆ©n la configuraciĆ³n de su identidad. Una bĆŗsqueda tan profunda como incesante por la imagen que el escritor proyectĆ³ durante su vida y de manera pĆ³stuma y, por supuesto, esa maquinaria perfecta que se anticipĆ³ a su tiempo y trasciende su propia sintaxis.
TambiĆ©n lo que no siempre llegamos a considerar sobre Borges encuentra una dimensiĆ³n en este libro. Incluso su perseverante naturaleza pendenciera y esas estrategias sutiles pero significativas que Pauls interpreta de manera magistral, como la aparente coqueterĆa de quitarse sĆ³lo un aƱo de edad para coincidir exactamente con el siglo que le tocĆ³ 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 Borgesā 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 universeāoriginality, tradition, libraryāto not only map the core of Borgesā 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.
