RE: The Official Nonsense Thread
Sadly I cannot understand Swedish, although I very much enjoy listening to it. I am completely rubbish at learning languages, despite my best efforts. We were taught French at school but I can barely remember it now and I did my damnedest to learn Spanish, to no avail. I would really love to be able to speak lots of languages, or at least be able to read them, but no. Oh well, I have so many other talents, I shouldn't be greedy.
So I cannot say whether the translation was good or not. It was certainly a compelling read. The programme for the play says that the English version is now out of print, so if you ever wanted to read it I could send you my copy. A few years ago my best friend and I made each other read some of our favourite books and our most hated books, the idea being that we would learn each others' taste and be able to recommend books. I gave her Dr Glas and was so relieved that she liked it! Football matches in the rain are OK as long as your sausage rolls don't get soggy. I always sneak in a hip flask to matches, just in case it gets chilly and I need a wee dram to warm up (or for sorrow-drowning if the match does not go too well). |
