Borges also springs to mind. Penguin publish a wonderful selection of his essays, and it’s absolutely one of my favourite books—easily as good as his fiction.
Borges is also my favorite top author, and I also think his nonfiction is at least as good as his fiction, which hardly anyone else does! Were we separated at birth?
We undoubtedly were. I’ve also been enjoying his poetry lately, since I found a nice bilingual edition of that. I can’t read the Spanish, but it’s nice to have it there for comparison’s sake, to be able to see what kinds of choices the translators made.
