That's a very interesting article. Though it does sound like he'd never be happy.

Yeah, I think English translations on average are better than those in smaller languages.

On balance, I'm glad I read the Steegmuller translation when I read the novel.

Regardless, if Pleiade is the best France has to offer, their book industry is awful.

So I take it you missed the whole part about Nabokov's translation of Eugene Onegin.

Re: Yes, I missed all of that. Such a conclusion clearly follows from my previous response. *NM*

Actually it does. Your responses are just cheap tricks, not discussions. *NM*

Barnes' article has little to do with authorial intent

I think it is more about the "authentic experience" than about intent.
