Shocking and disappointing. I believe it was Nabokov who likened translation to bringing in the head of a text on a platter. I wish this was the exception, rather than the rule. I remember comparing Gadamer's Truth and Method with the original German in a seminar, and finding some truly staggering omissions.

Lets get this one organized Jessica. De Beauvior is an important thinker and shaped my views when I read her as a young woman. I am free because I read the post-war french writers. I would want young women to have the same benefits I had.

I have a special fondness for emailing campaigns.

I suppose we could email Knopf and request they release the rights if they won't retranslate. Doubtful of course. But then, enough bad press might help.
