My best friend is a writer and a translator who lives in Macedonia. When we spoke this weekend she told me about a horrible translation a friend of hers had done. "She put A Big Null when it should have been The Great Zero. There was a footnote that said the wife of the emperor, with the spirit of the prostitute," she said exasperatedly. "I mean, Dark bone in inflamed bottom?? What is this? Black gay porn?"
