Title: Anybody else want to try translating this? Read the Spanish!
Review: I am reading Tres Tristes Tigres and Three Trapped Tigers simultaneously. The Spanish version is a literary gem. The English translation makes no sense and is easily the worst translation of anything I have ever read. Leaving aside the language games which of course are very difficult to translate, the translators add unnecessary embellishments to the text and leave out other really interesting stuff. Sometimes the translation is just simply inaccurate. The title page of the book says that Gardner & Levine translated it with the collaboration of the author; it's really hard to believe he had much input. The two texts are not very much alike.
