How many English translations of this are there? If there's more than one, which does /lit/ prefer?

>>	Dr. Seussicide (SLAF) Mon Aug 8 07:11:07 2011 No.1996076 I don't now if it's the best but the Perenial Classics translation by Gregory Rabassa seems to be really popular. It's also my preffered version.

>>	cas(｡◕‿‿◕｡)tiel Mon Aug 8 18:02:07 2011 No.1997096 I think Rabassa is the only translator. I didn't care for this novel much, but consider reading Octavio Paz's The Labyrinth of Solitude after. I feel like the two compliment each other well, even if they deal with different locations.
