How is it ? I read all the witcher books in Polish, and they were really great.. but I heard the English translation is.. uneven and lacks soul. And that's putting it mildly.

It's fine so far in terms of translation but I can't remark too much on it in general atm as I'm only 58 pages in.

Pacing's great tho.

Finally got my hands on this one. I'm almost through the first two essays, "Against Interpretation" and "On Style" and it's some pretty interesting stuff. Not hard to read either. Thankfully, she's written a fair amount of non-fiction like this, so I know what I'm going to be reading up through 2018.

She’s great

Of course he does. He's Nostradamus.

From Amazon:

The first English translation of Guérin’s monumental anthology of anarchism, published here in one volume. It details a vast array of unpublished documents, letters, debates, manifestos, reports, impassioned calls-to-arms and reasoned analysis; the history, organization and practice of the movement—its theorists, advocates and activists; the great names and the obscure, towering legends and unsung heroes.
