Psiche Hughes

Beryl Bainbridge: Artist, Writer, Friend

Psiche Hughes

Beryl Bainbridge needs no introduction as one of the finest novelists of our times. But few people know that painting and drawing were also lifelong passions, which she found relaxing and altogether less pressurized than writing.

A Dictionary of Borges

Evelyn Fishburn & Psiche Hughes

There are more than 1200 entires in all, from Alexander of Aphrodisias to Zarathustra; every relevant subject is treated, from Classical and Icelandic folklore to Chinese etiquette and the heresies of Gnosticism. Textual references are to the English and American versions and also to the Spanish originals. Dr Fishburn and Dr Hughes, both specialists in Borgesian studies, have produced an admirably concise work of reference which makes accessible to the general reader the imaginative world of one of the most challenging writers of the modern age.
