I've been overthinking this recently; why read translated fiction and poetry? What is the value in reading something that isn't in the author's own language/voice? Can poetry even truly be translated? If not, wouldn't that carry over into fiction as a whole, since sound, flow, word choice, wordplay, and cultural/linguistic implications are so important to the experience and meaning of a story? Am I just having some sort of midwit short circuit here?
