Translation blues????By Kevin William BarryI know from personal experience that one of the hardest things about self publishing; is not writing a book; its all the editing and formatting you have to do to make your work acceptable for your readers. Reeperbahn Blues by Martin Barkawitz is based in Hamburg; Germany and is obviously an English translation of a German novella. Unfortunately for Her Barkawitz its very poorly translated and the book is littered with phrases like ldquo;...rubbed it in his noserdquo; instead of ldquo;...rubbed his nose in it.rdquo; Also the plot was a little uninspiring and there was precious little intrigue or suspense; but again perhaps that was lost in the translation. As a writer; I can only imagine how hard it must be to write a novella in another language and for that reason alone Id like to give the author five stars. But as a reader; the poor translation means I can only give it three.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
