What's the consensus of this Borges translation? Which is preferred? I always hear Thomas Norman di Giovanni is preferred, but I was curious about this one. (The Irby Translation)
What's the consensus of this Borges translation? Which is preferred...

Ryan James
whatever you do don't get the collected fictions, the translation is mediocre at best and wrong at worst and has these annoying asterisks to mark the notes
Evan Adams
Hey I picked that one up at Goodwill the other day
William Bennett
Only Giovanni is accepted.
Adrian Wilson
di Giovanni worked with Borges personally to translate the stories as closely as possible.
Jose Perry
I got this, did I fuck up?
Haven't read any yet.
Ian Parker
i dont like the translations in comparison to labyrinths
Jaxon King
Really why?
Aaron Mitchell
i cant find di giovanni translations on amazon.
someone help plz or epub or pdf
Owen Myers
everyone's being unhelpfully meme-y. That collection has probably the best translations after Giovanni
Chase James
see also see a reddit thread where everyone recommends that edition
Ethan Rivera
I too would appreciate this
Ryan Cooper
That's the translation I read and I loved it.
Luke Perry
that's a pretty good translation. stay away from Andrew Hurley, I've heard. Never read Giovanni, is he truly the only acceptable? Irby did a pretty fine job.
Mason Stewart
how else are you supposed to read all his stories printed in English
Nolan Ramirez
you could search out Giovanni or other misc editions to find them. Irby and Giovanni are probably the better ones. Just stay away from Hurley
Dominic Davis
just read it in spanish...pleb.
Liam Peterson
have you read in both Spanish and English? care to compare?
Jaxson Sanders
those are impossible to find and are not in digital form last time i checked
Jordan Nguyen
Might just have to settle with what's published. Either that, or learn Spanish.
Noah Wilson
FUCKING BITCH STACY WINDOW PREVENTING THE GIOVANNI TRANSLATIONS FROM BEING PUBLISHED

Jordan Perez
noice
Dominic Lopez
thanks, user
Blake Smith
did irby do anything other than the labyrinths paperback? i can't find one with him as the sole translator
Owen Carter
too bad Borges' too autistic to develop characters
that and the whole meta-realworld universes he creates, it's cool, it's not even lit
Brandon Rivera
web.archive.org
archived pages of the translations he put up on his website before being ordered to have them taken down.
Evan Ross
Labyrinths and the English translation of Ficciones are great. di Giovanni's translations are obviously good too, but the difference between them isn't that obvious. One could argue that labyrinths is better or etc.
Jace Lewis
Including some unpublished ones, which I thought were already included in the epub above but actually the other pieces from the maker collection are not
