  1. Naman Gulati

    Enjoyable and thought-provoking! The introduction provided great context. Some stories were a bit slow.

  2. Mahesh Mhatardev Mache

    A decent translation, but nothing particularly special. It was okay.

  3. Name

    Good, but I found some parts of the translation confusing. Needed to reread those parts.

  4. Sakshi Trivedi

    This translation is ok. Some stories shined, but others felt lackluster.

  5. Jahanvi

    A solid translation, though some of the poetry felt a little flat. McCarter’s insights are valuable.

    McCarter’s translation brings a much-needed female voice. Not every story resonated, but the themes are powerful.

    Important to have a female perspective, but the writing style wasn’t always engaging.

    Interesting perspective, but hard to get through because of complex sentences.
