Are the English translations as good as the original French?

No idea. I should look one day. I really hated most José Saramago for a long time until I leveled up in Portuguese and went to read in the original and... I would add shitty translations to the hefty list of crap horrible terrible books. Most Bulgakov translations, I guess, too. I hear I'm supposed to enjoy and understand some of it, one day, with a good translation...

Edit: I worry that they won't translate well, no. Edit2: I think he got inspired by Don Delillo a bit, so you might get a taste there (I remember feeling very much similar ending his books).
