HOLY SHIT. this book is so incredible. made me think so differently about translation as a concept and as an art. sort of synced up with the era i’m learning abt in history right now which was a little serendipitous.
not usually the type of book i pick up (i didn’t know it was sad ngl) but i feel like i’m going to be thinking about this forever. felt so real and visceral both in the descriptions of how lovely their friendship and oxford was and in the depictions of all the stuff at the end. could not put it down. aauagahhb
