Seriously, I don’t know if I have read any “formal” translated works, but I am drawn to characters who are “tortured souls”, and who use (sometimes, seemingly innapropriate) humor to transcend thier pain…. I am a nursing student, and I have the priveledge to witness, firsthand, the ability of laughter, gross humor, and over simplification to help ease peoples’ percieved pain…. this book sounds like it is right up my alley…. thanks!

I haven’t read any translated works lately. If the subject matter was something I was interested in then I’d probably take a look at it.

Haven’t read any translated works in fiction, many thanks love to know. This sounds tatalizing; love the charcoal print.

I recently reah “Monkey” by
Wu Ch’Eng-En which is a folk novel translated from Chinese. It is just one of the books from ancient China that are roads into their glorious past.

I read a translated book from arabic to english while on holiday, but it lost much in the translation. I want to read more translated works however, so thank you for a great giveaway!
