susidus 's review for:
The Centre
by Ayesha Manazir Siddiqi
There are some interesting points in here but my main issue is that there's no real focus. The author seems to be writing about everything all at once, which makes a lot of the book quite boring.
Others have pointed out the ridiculousness of a translator finding work and fame by just choosing an obscure book to translate. Add to that a belief that German and Russian would somehow be extremely difficult languages with very few translators....
The story of the Center is an interesting premise but in the end it turned into a pretty bland book.
