You can't go wrong with David Magarschack's translation. (the one in the OP)
>>21658582
You're a fool if you don't think Oblomov was written with the intention of the character being relatable.

I look quite similar to Garshin (the man on the cover) but a little prettier. The eyes are the same though. I'm going to kill myself this year.

But he's the one who wants us to buy his stuff. He's the one who should give effort to inform us of why we should buy his stuff. Posting his book cover in every other thread is low-effort.
