Most Helpful Customer Reviews

can't quite believe the one star review above 17 Dec 2011

By Gabriel Fawcett

Format:Paperback

I have not read the book above, but I have read much of David Constantine's poetry translations and found them to be beautiful, so I fail to believe any work of his could be worth one star. I have to assume the one star review was done out of proportion and without due consideration that a work of literature deserves, so I am adding a 5 star review to balance it.
I am also really grateful to DC for translating Holderlin. What a wonderful job he did on that - if you can find his Holderlin translatons, get them!

The Shieling 6 April 2011

By JohnL

Format:Paperback

Constantine won the BBC short story prize 2011 so I expected a high standard. I was disappointed. He is not for me.
