Borges and the Kabbalah: Paths to the Word is a dialogue between image and text (with 29 original etchings).  Kupferminc with Argentinean literary critic Saul Sosnowski - Associate Provost and Professor at the University of Maryland, have shared the challenge of weaving together and forging links between Borges and the Kabbalah through different modes of expression.  More than a dialogue, this has been a “trialogue,” as both worked from Borges’ texts; Borges, in turn, crafted his literary versions from a number of fundamental Kabbalistic notions.
