Why translation matters
It is because of Rabassa's translation that I read One hundred years of solitude but I wouldnt say that I remember his name. goes to say of the little credit that goes to the translators, according o the author who is also a translator.
As i kept reading 'The Notebook' by Jose Saramago, admiring is fluidity, i kept forgetting that its a translation well done.
