I have nothing to compare it with but I enjoyed the P&V translation well enough to consider the book great.

Please use your superior intellect and abundance of wisdom to instruct me, a lowly pleb, as to which English translation I should read.

How new are you OP? Didn't you see any of the Dostoevsky translation threads over the last months? Years? There is a one in the catalog right now!
How much longer can this go on?
There is a translation thread, a qtddtot thread. And probably a bunch of Russian lit threads already you could have asked this question in.
Anyway go with avsey or McDuff.

how come translation is always a point of contention in russian and greek but hardly in any other language? you never have someone asking who the best kafka translator is.
