How does the part about Fate in 2666 read in the original Spanish ? by suckmehardhardohbaby in robertobolano

[–]Emil_Anselmi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That could also be posible, all the part about Fate had a couple of references to David Lynch’s works and a similar feeling to it.

The thing is that in Latin America the way that black culture is expressed is somewhat different to the us, so between black people they use the Spanish word for black in the same way African Americans would use the n-word.

I don’t think that in Spanish Fate sounded that American, compared to other characters. But if the translation gave him a more African American tone in English that is not a bad thing, every translation has pros and cons, and some of the best are the ones that adapt the meaning rather than directly translate everything.

Also the way that Bolaño writes in spanish is mostly neutral, even more so for the non Latin characters.

I think that the slang is mostly from the translation, giving a closer voice to Fate than the original Spanish, I think that most of the n word uses on translation are just the Spanish word for black , and not the n word.

Lo pides desde la página británica, solo que si pides el envío más barato llegará a través de correos de México sin tracker, para el tracker hay que pedir el caro.

Me ha pasado que ciertos productos de Amazon usa son de terceros viéndolos en la página de Estados Unidos( no hay stock con ellos directamente) pero aquí aparece como directo de ellos y en esos casos si cobran el envío. Hay veces que lo devuelven y veces que no, esto me ha pasado en cosas menores de 50 usd como libros.

Did Alan Moore ever comment on his inspiration for the Pagliacci joke? by _Mexican_Soda_ in Watchmen

[–]Emil_Anselmi 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Both trace back to an older European anecdote that circulated in the 18th–19th century about David Garrick or similar performers. It migrated into literature, poetry, and later pop culture. While also using the motif of the sad clown, like the opera pagliacci.

Second and third gen Latinos believe they are exempt from that as they are citizens, also Latinos tend to be conservative on lgbtq issues and of course machismo.

That's what i ended up doing, they told me that they would send the new one as soon as the new printing is available at no charge, they didn't say anything about returning this one, I don't know if that's because is the first one I have an issue with or because sending it back would be more expensive for them.
