Poetry & Literature
"Lewis was a Minnesotan who had fled to New York bohemia"
- 'bohemia' es la palabra que me descoloca pues si se refiriese a la zona de Nueva York iría en mayúsculas ¿no?
¿Cómo lo traduciríais? y...
¿Utilizaríais el gentilicio 'minesotano' para Minnesotan?
Por favor contestad a ambas preguntas!
GRACIAS!!!

And no, it's not a toponym in this case.

I suggest avoiding a direct translation of Minnesotan. There are lots of ways around it that would just use the word "Minnesota" (which, by the way, is generally written the same in Spanish as in English).
"...natural de Minnesota..."
"Lewis había huido de Minnesota..."
etc.

On a completely unrelated topic: I just noticed that you've asked more than 20 questions and have never helped anyone else out on here... You might want to consider pitching in a bit.

la ciudad bohemia de Nueva York
se trata de que en Nueva York se encuentran barrios bohemios, ausentes de Minnesota ...
puedes decir "Lewis había huido de su Minnesota natal ..."
puedes decir "Lewis había huido de su Minnesota natal ..."
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Anne Smith Campbell
: Maybe simply "la bohemia de Nueva York". And about "había huido de su Minnesota natal...", perfect... I honestly think that both Steven and you are right...
