Do people on /lit/ unironically force themselves to read this old man garbage?

>thinking translating literature is about opening a Russian/English dictionary and picking the first definition it gives you.

Enjoy jumping on whatever pseudo-intellectual bandwagon the New Yorker tells you to.

I found that article very persuasive. His choices for comparison really do show P&V at their weakest.

I've never been tempted to read Russian literature before, but the excerpts in that article were very compelling.

Thanks for the post, I might pick up the Fusso/Guerney translation of Dead Souls

I like Garnett.

Why is this thread a disaster? Any Iliad translation thread will give the best 5 translations within a few posts, and the only translators mentioned here are P & V and Garnett so far.
