brilliant,
By Al Kihano (Iskandria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Catullus (Hardcover)
If these translations sound weird, it's with good reason. Read them closely, and compare them to the original Latin.This book is a masterpiece of homophonic translation: Zuke has taken each individual Latin verse and attempted to match its phonemes closely to English words, so that whn you read the English it sounds a lot like the Latin. The result sounds very clunky and sometimes contrived, but it's still delightful to watch the poet and translator at work. These are not the best translations of Catullus, not by a long shot, but they are wonderful little inventions. Mind-blowing. |
