I recently learned about the debacle that was the Swedish translation of Tolkien, and it got me wondering: “are there books that can only exist within a masterful use of the authors native tongue?”.

    That’s really cool, I always like it when authors do stuff like that.

      Yeah! It's a great book. The translator Anna Ramadan is really talented, too.
