A Mathematician’s Writer

Jorge Luis Borges, 1951.
"He is a mathematician’s writer. His short stories are like mathematical proofs, delicately constructed and with ideas laced together effortlessly. Each step is taken with precision and water-tight logic, yet the narrative is full of surprising twists and turns." Marcus du Sautoy on Jorge Luis Borges, The Music of the Primes, 2003.
