In this Part 2 of the 1980 interview for Spanish television, Nobel Prize for Literature winner Jorge Luís Borges, Argentine writer, poet and philosopher, expresses his ideas on literature and writers, past and present. Borges discusses his family, ancestors, and his blindness. He recalls verses and quotes from his prodigeous memory.
