OMG, holy fuck.
Holy.
Fuck.
I swear I had no idea. I solemnly swear. Everyone who wanted to read a brand-new translation of "Monday starts on Saturday", guess what?
It's out!!
The translator is Andrew Bromfield. I know the bloke's work. He translates Viktor Pelevin, another genius of modern Russian fiction. He does a rather sucky job of it, but it's not really his fault - Pelevin is notoriously difficult to translate. I think he could do a much better job with the brothers Strugatskie, despite all the word-play involved in the story.
Ughm. Squee?
