Heehee! Is that book by our Stephen or some other SF?

I haven´t read Moab, and I certainly would not read the German translation (or only to see whether the translator paid due respect to the author ... No. 3 on my "Check the translation" list for when I have retired  After The Stars´ Tennis Balls and Making History X-D ) |

I'm awfully embarrassed to say that, althoguh I have read it, I still don't understand what "Moab is my Washpot Means", nor its releveance to the book's content.

JS, nothing to be embarrassed about ! Please go to"Books" and then to the Moab thread, you´ll find the answers there (!) |

I can't remember it clearly, but isn't there a random remark somewhere about Kolumbus and England? Anyway, there was no need to change the title. I've also never read any German Stephen Fry. We had this discussion ages ago and I still don't think that his linguistic wit could be adapted to German.

I have once been told that literary translators are not very well remunerated so they very often churn out one translation after the other, which in the case of Stephen Fry´s books would be high treason as one cannot come up with an appropriate translation of his linguistic wit without having to muse over any insinuations, which takes time of course! (which literary translators don´t seem to have unless they want to starve..) God, what a challenge it must be to translate one of his books (I´d find a hundred reasons to get back to him with queries as to the exact meaning of certain phrases :-D) One aspect I find interesting with regards to "The Liar" and "Making History" is whether the fact that some of the conversation was held in Austrian German was taken into account by the translator  Wrong thread, sorry :-// |

In honor of the recent news regarding Stephen's documentary about driving around America in his black London taxi:
 Keep your eyes peeled, Americanos! LOL I'd like to see him go through a drive-thru in that thing.

Not sure. Why, have you seen duplication? I was gonna go through and make special note of the ones I've posted, but I decided to cap season one of Jeeves and Wooster instead
