I just got done reading this book the other day, and I happened to wonder how, exactly, it was translated to Russian. Would I be correct in geussing the slang was written in some less known language from the region?

Thank you.

Bow-wow-wow.
Whose dog art thou?
Welcome back to the bone, I mean board, Canine! Glad you're a self-proclaimed Domesticus as opposed to one of your more Wildicus cousins...

Thanks, Wordwind. Shall I take your post as merely a greeting or that you have seen my profile and guessed who I am? That 'back' line could be interpreted either way...

Both and but not quite, CanisD: Greeting, yes; profile, yes; but guessed who you are, no. Just relieved you're not a jackyl. I do worry about the meerkats.

I don't think his question rehashes our discussion of A Clockwork Orange. (IIRC) The question is, how would this novel be translated into Russian given the Russian influence of the slang used in the English version? It would be difficult to do this without losing the flavor of the novel. If this was covered in our discussion then I don't remember, but I think an appropriate punishment would be to give me a new Ducatti motorcycle and make me ride across the U.S. You know how I hate that sort of thing.

If this was covered in our discussion then
It is my memory that the matter was touched upon, but never resolved. We'll have to wait for vika to show up, I think.
