Book Reviews of The Myth of Sisyphus: And Other Essays
Book Review: A Poor Translation
Summary: 1 Stars
Justin O'Brien's translation reads like a literal translation of a Chinese instruction manual to some piece of imported equipment rather than of one who undestands the substance of the subject. Compare this to the translation of The Stranger by Mathew Ward which is excellent and clearly conveys the meaning of the material. O'Brien's translation is a disservice to Camus.
