Fyi, sadly, i think Hamburger's translation leaves a lot to be desired. Now there are a lot others, Last Poems, by K.W., is one, also, in an early Sulfur Magazine spec Celan edition there are a slew, some excellent are by Ester Cameron, who i cannot find much more about. <br /><br />Just finished Little Dorrit by Ch Dickens, which felt like comical popular fiction at first, but becomes really great over the second 400 pages. Definitely is equal to Kundera. No one equals Ulysees, i agree w/u there.<br /><br />Cheerseyton shalomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18097341997357527673noreply@blogger.com
