I'm under the impression you master both. Well, English it is =) Just like the guy before me I got to your blog just by typing snow+buenos aires but it was not your entry on our delightful flurry, as you call it, that cought my attention but rather the one on literary translation. I'm studying translation at Lenguas Vivas, you may be familiar with it. Well, we often come accross people who underestimate translations... specially literary ones. Some writers just say that we translators are bad writers and have to make do with translating. Well I'm not really going to waste my time arguing with those people. The only think I would like to say about it is that literary translation being the field I enjoy the most, I hope I will be able to work as a literary translator and don't get underestimated because I don't have a book of my own. Sometimes people think only writers can translate a book. They fail to see noone but writers are interested in translations, regardless of whether we have written anything of our own. Well, there's so much to say about it... but I just liked coming accross something on literary translation when I was simply googling snowy BA up. Saludos!
