Literary Genre Translations


Some literary humor, care of McSweeney's.

From the piece...

Original Text

“I ate a sandwich and looked out the window.”

Sci-Fi

“I placed the allotted nutrition capsules on my tongue bed and looked to the Nahin VI-8373 space podhole.”

Fantasy

“My dragon, Ralfarus, and I, Genflowfla’ii, choked down the hardened cheese curd and two-part-moons-old bread as we peered out of the meeting cavern.”
