Florida Betty posted:On the lighter side, Sinclair Lewis has always been one of my faves. His earlier stuff is close to a hundred years old now and it's amazing how relevant his satire still is... and still funny. It's amazing how well Arrowsmith still skewers academic medicine, public health, and primary care medicine. Really hard to believe it is so old.

I'm reading the more recent English translation which I understand was an improvement. As for poetry and translation I'm not sure I'd judge something out of a native language. So much of poetry has to do with the exact words chosen and the flow rather than just the images, etc.
