guerney. absolutely perfect. p&v is trash. Nabokov himself committed all to the trash pile except guerney.

wow totally agree with that article

i read the PV anna karenina without checking out other translations and enjoyed it

recently wanted to reread notes and the fact they used wickedness instead of spite like the other translation i had legit bothered me

Guerney is the best. I also recommend Magarshack's renderings of his short stories

I have read the Guerney and P&V dead souls and short stories translated by magarshack.
I agree with this guy >>8948457

Can someone pastebin this article?

Make sure you read The Portrait. Guerney is the only translation that has made me laugh so far, and i've never been able to with any of the others. it never seemed funny until i picked that one up.
