In 1961, Borges received the first ''[[Prix Formentor|Prix International]]'', which he shared with [[Samuel Beckett]]. While Beckett had garnered a distinguished reputation in Europe and America, Borges had been largely unknown and untranslated in the English-speaking world and the prize stirred great interest in his work. The Italian government named Borges ''Commendatore'' and the [[University of Texas at Austin]] appointed him for one year to the Tinker Chair. This led to his first lecture tour in the United States. In 1962, two major anthologies of Borges's writings were published in English by New York presses: ''[[Ficciones]]'' and ''[[Labyrinths (short story collection)|Labyrinths]]''. In that year, Borges began lecture tours of Europe.  Numerous honors were to accumulate over the years such as a Special [[Edgar Award|Edgar Allan Poe Award]] from the [[Mystery Writers of America]] "for distinguished contribution to the mystery genre" (1976),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://theedgars.com/edgarsDB/index.php|title=Edgar Award Winners and Nominees Database|website=theedgars.com|access-date=13 July 2012|archive-date=4 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190404232840/http://theedgars.com/edgarsDB/index.php|url-status=dead}}</ref> the [[Balzan Prize]] (for philology, linguistics and literary criticism) and the [[Prix mondial Cino Del Duca]], the [[Miguel de Cervantes Prize]] (all 1980), as well as the French [[Légion d'honneur|Legion of Honour]] (1983) and the Diamond [[Konex Award]] for Literature Arts as the most important writer in the last decade in his country.

In 1967, Borges began a five-year period of collaboration with the American translator [[Norman Thomas di Giovanni]], through whom he became better known in the English-speaking world.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Pack|first=Scott|date=2017-03-14|title=Norman Thomas di Giovanni obituary|url=http://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/mar/14/norman-thomas-di-giovanni-obituary|access-date=2021-05-22|website=The Guardian|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Fraser|first=Ryan|date=2005-12-22|orig-year=Published in print 2004|title=Past Lives of Knives: On Borges, Translation, and Sticking Old Texts|journal=TTR: Traduction, terminologie, rédaction|volume=17|issue=1|pages=55–80|doi=10.7202/011973ar|issn=1708-2188|doi-access=free|s2cid=193238162}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Graham-Yooll|first=Andrew|date=2017|title=Norman di Giovanni, the Master's Translator|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.7723/antiochreview.75.2.0008|journal=The Antioch Review|volume=75|issue=2|pages=8–10|doi=10.7723/antiochreview.75.2.0008|issn=0003-5769|jstor=10.7723/antiochreview.75.2.0008}}</ref> Di Giovanni contended that Borges's popularity was due to his writing with multiple languages in mind and deliberately using Latin words as a bridge from Spanish to English.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Christ |first1=Ronald |date=Summer 1971 |title=A Modest Proposal for the Criticism of Borges |journal=Books Abroad |volume=45 |issue=3 |pages=388–398 |doi=10.2307/40125492 |jstor=40125492 }}</ref>
