That's a good thing if you want to avoid bad translations.

Is this the one where guy arrives a home and fucks the whole family?

picrel is probably my favorite from what I have read from NYRB. About as close as one can get to a perfect novel for me, there is little fault I can find in it and what faults I can find are rather minor. One of those novels that never strays far from my thoughts and gets reread once every year or so. Speedboat is a close second but Balcony in the Forest's structural simplicity wins out despite my love of structural complexity.

I seriously have no idea what translationn of the republic I have. The book opens straight into Book I and immediately ends after book X. No commentary, no anything.

>>23167762
NYRB tends to do that when they haven't some shitty foreword to prop up on their cover.
Anyway this is just an old translation that they republished, as they do (/lit/ seems to like Hood's translation of On the Marble Cliffs, for which nyrb ironically did issue a new translation).

>>23168284
Sometimes they put both translator and introduction writer on the cover.

>optimized for mobile devices
Goddamn, I hate the twenty-first century. You get called a retard for browsing on your phone, but literally all the images people post are optimized for phones, even the fucking porn on /gif/ is optimized for phones, and you can't even get sound in the native browser with webms!

>>23168388
?

>>23168190
NYRB maxing

You're very obviously a phone poster, or you purposely being dense.
Open up that image on your desktop or laptop. It's optimized for a rectangular phone, so the whole image doesn't fit on your screen, making it a pain to look at the full image. But it's also a pain to look at the thumbnail. All fucking images are like that now. They're made with a phone's screen resolution in mind because they know the majority of people are on their phones now thanks to the fucking street shitters and fly tape niggers and fucking ching chong weeng wongs

I'm using my laptop, schizo retard.

>>23169336
He is saying that he does not know how to change his browser's image display from fit to width to fit to size or fit to height.

>>23169344
That's a 4chan setting.

>>23167723
I got probably a couple dozen

>>23169354
Any remotely recent browser has its own setting for such things, don't recall having seen that in the 4chan settings but it has been years since I actually went through those.

>>23169364
example?

simple as

>>23168225
That book looks really interesting. What's the author of the novel Speedboat that you mentioned?

>>23172332
