Why is it always some jew translating antisemites?

>> No.10904263

>>10904104
For the same reason that some antisemites have read virtually all that was ever written Jews. Fascination mixed with repulsion.

>>10904263
Same with me, a white nationalist, watching interracial porn, fascination mixed with disgustion.

Journey to the End of the Night is great, but don't read Death on the Installment Plan.

First 200 hundred pages are a manifesto to misanthropy. the next 200 is characters growth.

It's quite remarkable, really.

Any good translation you would recommend or is there only the one?

>> No.10906233

>>10906085
There are two translations only, Ralph Manheim's (pic related) and John Sturrock (from 1990, not sure if you can get it). I've only checked Manheim's. It has inaccuracies here and there but it's pretty decent, plus it's the only available option it seems.

I think he was an ironic misanthrope. He supposedly hates everything but he lets himself get fleeced by his patients and actually tries to help them?

There's a saying about all misanthropes being disappointed idealists which I think applies to him.
