Jorge Luis Borges bibliography

This is a bibliography of works by Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet, and translator Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986).

Borges in 1976

Each year links to its corresponding "[year] in literature" article (for prose) or "[year] in poetry" article (for verse).

Original book-length publications

This list follows the chronology of original (typically Spanish-language) publication in books, based in part on the rather comprehensive (but incomplete) bibliography online at the Borges Center (originally the J. L. Borges Center for Studies & Documentation at the University of Aarhus, then at the University of Iowa, now—as of 2010—at the University of Pittsburgh). The following list focuses on book-length publication of original work (including collaborative work): it does not include individual short stories, poems, and translations published in magazines, nor does it include books (such as anthologies of fantasy and of Argentine literature) that Borges edited or co-edited. It also excludes several chapbooks, privately printed editions, etc. of under 50 pages each and does not attempt to identify first publication dates of individual stories, poems, etc. ISBNs refer to recent editions, not original publications.^{1 2 3}

Short stories and prose poems

The translations of the titles are from Collected Fictions, translated by Andrew Hurley. The information is compiled from the Bibliografía cronológica de la obra de Jorge Luis Borges by Annick Louis and Florian Ziche. Not all of these works can be classified as short stories. For example, "The Dread Redeemer Lazarus Morell" is largely factual, but it reads like a work of fiction. Conversely, the fictional "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" is written in a style resembling an essay in literary criticism.

The groupings represent books in which these were first published; they are listed by the English translation of the original Spanish-language book.

English-language publication

Borges's work was first published in book form in English in 1962, with the translation and publication of Ficciones (1944) (Fictions, translated by Anthony Bonner, Alastair Reid, Helen Temple, and Kuthven Todd; edited by Anthony Kerrigan) and the collection known as Labyrinths, Selected Stories & Other Writings, translated and edited by Donald A. Yates and James Irby. In 2008, The Society of Authors (London) selected Labyrinths as one of the fifty most outstanding translations in the last fifty years.

In 1967, Borges began a five-year period of collaboration with the American translator Norman Thomas di Giovanni, after which he became better known in the English-speaking world. Di Giovanni would continue to be his primary English-language translator from that time forward.

Notes

1.^ Several bibliographies also choose to include a collection of previously published essays, published in 1971 under the name Narraciones.

2.^ Some web-based lists misattribute El Caudillo, (1921 novel), to Borges. It was actually written by his father, also a Jorge Borges.

3.^ Many English-language titles and ISBNs still missing. Some of the volumes might be better classified in terms of genre.
