stupidpieceofhuman's review against another edition
4.0
this book is written under three sections of world literature: 1) european, 2) american, and 3) rest of the world. in these three sections, i didn't like american literature section. those essays were so unnecessarily long, and sometimes, convoluted that i partly lost my interest. yet, i loved reading this book in which coetzee's genius literary mind shines in his writing and thoughts. in one of the most important arguments, he raised a strong and valid point for the ethics of translation and translated literature. this has never discussed that much in the discussions of literature.
