I suppose he is a big enough target wven without that poem.<br /><br />I have come across accusations of racism against <i>Kim</i>, all of which seem to confuse culture with race. Or perhaps in some ideologies we are supposed to pretend that there are no differences among cultures? What nonsense.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-77131508310894504672013-08-25T00:50:40.756-05:002013-08-25T00:50:40.756-05:00Tom.

I do not see how that position has any relation to actually reading Kipling's work. It is baffling.<br /><br />This idea about Kipling writing in translation seems pretty good to me, so good that it is a shame I do not know how to follow it up.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-29574654443144183982013-08-24T11:54:02.084-05:002013-08-24T11:54:02.084-05:00Kipling has weathered well really ,I loved kim as ...Kipling has weathered well really ,I loved kim as a teen such images of india ,all the best stustujallenhttp://winstonsdad.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-37967896352653074562013-08-24T08:29:49.472-05:002013-08-24T08:29:49.472-05:00It is so very impressive that the "translatio...It is so very impressive that the "translation" of what is actually imagined dialogue really seems to be a translation.
