Hornby Translators
Saturday, June 07th, 2008 | Author: Michael
I had carried Nick Hornby’s A Long Way Down to Thailand and back and finally found the time to read it at the end of May. While reading it, I saw the post in Transblawg about Hornby’s Fever Pitch and the missing credit for translation (“der fehlende Übersetzer”). I checked amazon.de, and indeed, no translator was mentioned. Amazon lets you comment on the image and information of books they show on their site, so I suggested they should include the information about the translator. I got an immediate response from them by e-mail, and a couple of days later they had amended the book info (see http://snurl.com/2edre). Somebody more pedantic than me and with more time to kill could do this in a systematic fashion, I guess.
A very funny quote from A Long Way Down below the fold…
