Does anyone else feel a disconnect with translated literature? 95% of the time I will choose to read something written in English. When you read something in its original language there is a real connection there. It is like the author is speaking to you. Some of my favorite books are translations, but it's a different experience. It's not the author's voice. The craft of the word is tainted. It's like a remake of a classic movie. It will never be as good. Thoughts?
