It's supposed to sound detached here Larry Send a noteboard - 09/11/2010 10:59:30 AM
Everything comes out sounding detached, like Camus wrote it.


That detachment was a main part of the book, as it's turning the tropes of Westerns inside-out.
Illusions fall like the husk of a fruit, one after another, and the fruit is experience. - Narrator, Sylvie

Je suis méchant.

I agree with Rebekah and Camilla. There's something really unsettling about French-to-English. Ghavrel - 09/11/2010 02:46:12 AM 543 Views

Perhaps, but it applies equally to virtually all translations I've read. Ghavrel - 09/11/2010 06:51:57 PM 521 Views
