Cioran's "Notebooks: 1957โ€“1972" are currently in translation by Patrick James Errington and New York Review Books are funding it. nyrb is fucking kino

>Effective start/end date

I am postponing to be an hero to 2027

>Patrick James Errington
Dude's poetry sounds like typical soulless rupi kaur type free verse MFA slamtrash nonsense. Maybe this retard is going to ruin the translation. He's a twink so do you think that he sucked off someone at nyrb to land this gig?

Cioran is shallow, and the shallow seek the shallow.

I downloaded the pdf, searched for keywords I'm interested in and used chatgpt to translate parts from the book. it's usual cioranslop nothing to look forward to.

you might as well schedule it for later, it's too late anyway.

In the end note to All Gall is Divided, the only one to which he attached a personal Translator's Note, Richard Howard noted that he had completed his decades-long task of bringing all of Cioran's primary French works into English renderings (not including the early Romanian work), something he amused himself with in between other projects. He also noted "there remain the Cahiers, which, if we have world enough and time..." He did not. He lived to be quite old.

Anyway, the blurb in the OP indicates that Howard at least got part way with the project, and now other guy is looking to finish it up. Cioran's notebooks were a dramatic centerpiece in the fighting over his "estate", such as it was, right around the end of his life. This is documented by his Romanian translator, who got into a fight with Cioran's gf over same. A short time later, both Boue and the Romaian/English translator were dead. My notes:

>Ciara Horan
This was the first thing I thought of with this thread also.

You should continue to live, if you can fren. Sorry, I know it's unbearable most of the time. I decided to become a trucker and live in the truck. This is going to supply me with money, shelter, and allow me to listen to audiobooks all day while I "work" (I love driving anyway). It also gets me away from people, who have literally not once been a net positive in my life and have always hurt and abused me in some way. Try to find something that fits your temperament anon. I know it's hard and that practically everything is bullshit and fake/gay, but try to survive in spite of these dim pieces of shit.

As if Cioranfags would kill themselves. All he does in the first place is run a circuit around the topic.
