Lost in Translation: What the First Line of “The Stranger” Should Be | The New Yorker

Quote:
Finally, and perhaps most important, the American reader will harbor no preconceived notions of the word maman. We will understand it with ease, but it will carry no baggage, it will plant no unintended seeds in our head. The word will neither sway us to see Meursault as overly cold and heartless nor as overly warm and loving. And while some of the word’s precision is indeed lost for the English-language reader, maman still gives us a more neutral-to-familiar tone than “mother,” one that hews closer to Camus’s original.

I sometimes think about how the current minimum age for remembering 9/11 is around 28 and that every shooter younger than that grew up in a post war on terror world. I think the terrorists were the people we met along the way.
