I realize it was her first novel. Maybe I'd like her later work better.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-64281763263111025582015-04-23T07:15:43.675-07:002015-04-23T07:15:43.675-07:00I am so glad you read this. ;-) I have had her on ...I am so glad you read this. ;-) I have had her on the list for ever (well, since 1992) and it has seemed like a must-read because everybody loves it and it is so praised by people who should know about these things. But your objections makes me think I must read it in translation - for sure, I would go crazy about the punctuation also. With an author of her status, some effort is usually put into the translations, while pulp fiction is more likely to be translated by highschool students (or so it seems).
