#WritersCoffeeClub 26. Do you include things you personally find repellent in your work?
I am translating old German folk tales. Many of them are fun, but others absolutely include repellent elements such as:
- Misogyny
- Child abuse
- Antisemitism, up to and including slanders that were used as excuses for pogromsAnd I refuse to pretend that these elements are not in the source material. Anything else would be dishonest.
