চেখভের নির্বাচিত গল্পের পাশাপাশি এই জীবনী পড়তে বেশ ভালোই লাগছে, বিশেষ করে জীবনীকার যখন ভি এস প্রিচেট-এর মত জাঁদরেল লেখক। বলা বাহুল্য, প্রিচেট নিজেই বিংশ শতাব্দীর অন্যতম শ্রেষ্ঠ ইংরেজ ছোটগল্পকার হিসেবে পরিচিত। চমতকার প্রাঞ্জল দ্রুতলয়ের গদ্যে বিবৃত ক

“The future we face in the Pacific may be dangerous, but I suspect it will be anything but dull.”

“His white belly is exposed, it rises and falls in jerks. The enemy from the other side gasps and screams, now in stark silence because of the gag I’ve cinched around his mouth. He screams in stark silence when I take all the insides of his belly and put them outside in the rain, in the wind, in the snow, or in the bright moonlight. If at this moment his blue eyes don’t dim forever, then I lie down next to him, I turn his face toward mine and I watch him die a little, then I slit his throat, cleanly, humanely. At night, all blood is black.”

“He had a heart attack here in Montevideo, barely lived to tell the tale. There is something like a Bermuda Triangle here, it’s not to be underestimated. It’s kind of the B-side of the River Plate, the side that’ll eat you right up. If you can’t handle it, it’ll kill you. You have to be careful with Uruguay, especially if you come thinking it’s like the countryside in Argentina only everybody’s good, there’s no corruption, no Peronism, you can smoke pot on the street, the cute little country where everyone is a good person and friendly and all that bullshit. If you’re not paying attention, Uruguay will fuck you in the ass.”

“To translate is never simple. To translate is to betray at the borders, it’s to cheat, it’s to trade one sentence for another. To translate is one of the only human activities in which one is required to lie about the details to convey the truth at large. To translate is to risk understanding better than others that the truth about a word is not single, but double, even triple, quadruple, or quintuple. To translate is to distance oneself from God’s truth, which, as everyone knows or believes, is single.”
