Wanderer | 
pickTranslated from the French, Wanderer tells the story of a student-teacher relationship when they reconnect after some time has passed. It can be read on that level but really the story deepens if you can read the language of Schubert, whose music permeates the dialogue, the setting, the characters, even the plot. (I gave in and listened to Schubert while I read it.)

ReadingEnvy I found myself wishing the translator had translated more of the German lyrics, because the meaning of them is what is most important, leaving the punch of an interaction delayed until I flipped to the endnote. The original narrative moves between present third person pov and past first person pov that I was confused at times. 6y
