What's in there for me /lit/?

There's literally no way a translation of M&D would be any good.

>>8026339

Spanish words by a translator.

Why are you reading it in fucking Spanish

someone on here told me the Spanish version is better than the original and that Thomas Pynchon himself said so.

Que mierda de portada.

Espero que cuando lo acabes lo vendas o lo regales.

>>8026409
So you don't read any books written in the 18th century unless the original language was English? No Voltaire, Goethe, Rousseau, Kant, etc?

>>8026409
No but a lot of them have their slang language and some language-only aspects too, and people do read it translated nonetheless.

>>8026438
La quieres?

>>8026439
I speak english, german, spanish, french and russian

>>8026439
Not that faggot. But if the original language is french I read it in spanish. If its german I read it in English.

But really now, does Spanish lit have the sorts of literary traditions that M&D is pastiche&parody-ing? French lit does, but I had a look at the french translation and it doesn't work desu

>>8026417
Shit cover

>>8026344
reading M&D in spanish is like reading Don Quijote in english
