According to Sean Kernan (USA, 1942), "The Secret Books doesn't attempt to illustrate Borges, and it doesn't aspire to be a collaboration. I have simply found some instances in which he speaks directly about books and have arranged them with my images of books to make a kind of sequence, or perhaps a dialogue. And navigating thus under the star of Borges I find myself peering down dark, unfamiliar paths across the plane of the world with a rising sense, both exciting and ominous, that everything is about to change".
