Borges

Street performers dressed as early 20th-century immigrants rest on the Plaza Dorrego in Buenos Aires. Noted Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges wrote often about people on the margins -- thugs, knife fighters, prostitutes and scoundrels. The magic realist author influenced the work of many of the western hemisphere's greatest writers.
