At the age of seventy, after a gap of twenty years, Jorge Luis Borges returned to writing short stories. In "Brodie's Report," he returned also to the style of his earlier years with its brutal realism, nightmares, and bloodshed. Many of these stories, including "Unworthy" and "The Other Duel," are set in the macho Argentinean underworld, and even the rivalries between artists are suffused with suppressed violence. Throughout, opposing themes of fate and free will, loyalty and betrayal, time and memory flicker in the recesses of these compelling stories, among the best Borges ever wrote.… (mehr)

El informe Brodie es un volumen de madurez narrativa de gran sencillez y desnudez formal que, con todo, encierra todo el imaginario borgiano. Dos preocupaciones centran las tramas: la ética y la idea del destino como una línea en fuga.

Perhaps Borges' most inessential book, Brodie's Report is a sort of counterpart to A Universal History of Iniquity in that it's a collection of laconic short stories revolving around Argentine gauchos and knife-fighters. But whereas Iniquity, despites its flaws, had the exuberant ideas of youth, Brodie's Report, written when Borges was in his seventies, just seems stale.

The stories are surprisingly shallow; there was not one stand-out piece of writing and their only notable feature, beyond Borges' ever-present and often-underrated storytelling, is their bone-white violence. The brutality on show among Borges' characters is stronger here than in any of his other writing.

But why this is the case is not clear, and it's certainly not why people read Borges. Brodie's Report is entirely absent the evocative labyrinths, metaphysics and mythology that make his most enduring stories sparkle, but this would be fine if there was something intellectually sustaining in their stead. But there isn't, and the book lacks literary validity. There is in truth very little to say about it in a review; it pains me to write of Borges in demerit, but the book contains little of what makes readers fall (and stay) in love with this singular writer.

Una interesante colección de cuentos muy argentinos, por su lenguaje, por sus personajes y por la situaciones que presenta. ( )

Due fratelli, violenti e solitari, vivono chiusi nel cerchio di un rapporto esclusivo. Quando scoprono di essere innamorati della stessa donna, non esitano a sbarazzarsi di lei e di un sentimento che li umilia per tornare alla loro vecchia vita di uomini tra uomini. Con questo laconico capolavoro, L’intrusa, si apre la raccolta di racconti (ingannevolmente) «lineari» e «realisti» che un Borges ormai settantenne volle scrivere all’insegna del giovane Kipling.

These stories were decent, but I do not believe they hold the same aplomb as the rest of Borges' retinue that he has to offer. They seemed to be more fragmented and experimental more than anything else and the lack of structure inherent in them, for me, distanced me from them as a whole. Nevertheless, they were worth reading- but I do not believe that this is essential Borges.

3 stars. ( )

...there is another Borges, a Borges of the streets, the brothel, the knife fight, who is unknown, except to specialists, in the Anglophone world. Brodie’s Report will probably do little to change the canonical reputation of the “magical realist,” but for the interested reader, for the reader seeking the complete Borgesian experience, it is an essential volume. Indeed, teachers of literature owe to themselves and their students an acquaintance with this aspect of Borges’ work, especially as Brodie’s Report goes a long way toward breaking up the critical hegemony of the colonialist imposition signified by the term “magical realism.” Magical (or “magic”) realism was imposed by North American critics on various Latin American writers such as Julio Cortazar and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, as well as on Borges, who were seen from a distance as part of a single “school.”
