5.0 out of 5 stars
Fun stories; odd translation,
By Grumpy Reader "greader" (Spain) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I Love You When I'm Drunk (Paperback)
These were funny, mostly topical stories about current fads, movements, affairs and marriages. I definitely recommend them to anyone who likes modern, original, satirical short stories. So I give the book five stars in spite of the translation, which is quite funky in spots. I can't tell whether the translator is trying to imitate some kind of Spanish/Catalan slang in his use of certain odd words and phrases, or if those words are some form of modern British slang. At any rate, there are quite a number of these spots in the stories, and the meaning (sometimes crucial to what is going on) is completely lost on this American reader (and no, the words and phrases didn't show up when I googled them).
