Tiene buenas reseñas pero casi siempre son solo resúmenes de los libros, con poca reflexión crítica (que cuando la hay es muy buena). A veces sí se la vuela y se pone a resumir libros que no tienen nada que ver con el libro o el autor reseñado. Yo asumo que hace eso para rellenar espacio, sin embargo, es bastante molesto.
stupidpieceofhuman's review against another edition
4.0
this book is written under three sections of world literature: 1) european, 2) american, and 3) rest of the world. in these three sections, i didn't like american literature section. those essays were so unnecessarily long, and sometimes, convoluted that i partly lost my interest. yet, i loved reading this book in which coetzee's genius literary mind shines in his writing and thoughts. in one of the most important arguments, he raised a strong and valid point for the ethics of translation and translated literature. this has never discussed that much in the discussions of literature.
