You have the logic of a brainless infant. The author himself praised Rabassa’s English translation of One Hundred Year of Solitude.

Gabo himself said Gregory Rabassa's translation might actually be a better novel than the original.

“Gabo” was also a communist and a pedo. What he thought is irrelevant. I have read both and while the translation is good, to claim it’s better than the original shows he couldn’t read English or that he said that to promote the book. At one point the word “estirpe” (lineage, bloodline) is rendered as “race”.
