i swear to god translators deserve their own nobel prize like they are literally doing god’s work and the fact that they’re never even CONSIDERED is just…GOD, it is so frustrating !

i’m begging you to name one thing more iconic than tirelessly passing the flame from one culture & generation to another out of nothing but SHEER LOVE for that culture, that generation, those words and that language. name one writer who has done as much for literature as the countless translators labouring over and over for months and even years on end to bring their words to as many people as possible because they love them THAT much – because they feel such joy and such a profound sense of connection and the first thing they decided to do was to want others to feel it THAT MUCH – because more than anything literature and art matters THAT much. it is the single biggest labour of love & devotion in any literary field and embodies ENTIRELY what the whole point of literature even is to begin with and yes this is the hill i will die on
