"Taiga," in any polar nation, is a pretty suspect surname, all right...kinda like a tropical-island-based writer named "Coral."Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9919027.post-7019329064933807472010-02-22T21:58:37.818+02:002010-02-22T21:58:37.818+02:00Well, Todd, I haven't really read them - yet I...Well, Todd, I haven't really read them - yet I'm supposed to be compiling a book of them. I can read them, of course. One of his later stories from the early sixties was published in a book form in the eighties, but I thought it was a bore. But then again, Marton Taiga (that's a 'nym, his real name was Martin Löfberg) was old by that time and his creative days were long gone. I'm waiting for some mild, pleasing entertainment from his older works. <br /><br />As for Borges: I've read him in Finnish. We've had some very good translations of his work (even a good collection of his poetry). I've got some of Borges's books in English, but haven't tackled them yet. Calvino also in Finnish. I'll go check your blog.Jurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021010310386744591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9919027.post-74165050476909114292010-02-22T21:38:46.430+02:002010-02-22T21:38:46.430+02:00Are they good?
And, as I asked in response to you...Are they good?<br /><br />And, as I asked in response to your comment on my Borges and Calvino post, have you read them mostly in Finnish, English or otherwise?Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.com
