It's mid...

I read some excerpts way back, and had a good opinion of them, so I finally jumped back in with Swans Way, and I really can't stand it no more. I'll maybe force myself to finish it, but that's it... Cursed Dreyfusites are all trash...

If you aren't reading it in French your opinion on the work doesn't really matter desu

If youre reading any of the moncrieff translation variations, i heard they added too much purple to the prose.

I see nothing wrong with C.K. It's flowing and readable. Alternative reads like AI, desu...

Proust was friends with moncrieff and approved of his translation

>>25276870
Better than reading a different translator for every volume desu
