Great Book, But Poorly Edited

Dudes, I know people can say that about a number of books. But, now it’s about a book I translated. It’s a great book, very important to understand part of the history of this country, but it was so poorly edited, it’s just sad. Starting from the cover, which displaces the meaning from actual people (an emotional portrait of conversion) to an old building (boring and out of date), to the tiny letter size, not to mention the horrible stylistic hacks. So, what can I say, I am just surprised once again by editor’s incompetence, ignorance and rushed penny pinching decisions.  There, now I feel better. LOL

Weird News

I’m still laughing over a recent copy-and-paste “event” involving a local tabloid. Talk about “masks”.

This year’s Oscar for over-acting goes to “Award The Producer”.  If most of your previous acting gigs had the same “producer” and you are feeling grateful… I applaud the friendship, dudes. But don’t fool yourselves. We can all see what went down!

I guess that’s what they meant when they opposed market based iniatiatives: to have the discretional funds to waste on themselves. Talk about disregarding the public.
