Quick note of excitement




I understand one of my stories is out now, translated into Swedish by Aase Berg. I'm looking for a website or blog for her, but this is all I could find at this moment.

Will post more later, but how cool, huh?!

Wow, how cool. How did that come about? (Feel free to email if it is a long and/or sordid tale, har har.) I have keen interest in translations these days.

That's awesome! It's so exciting that the best I can say is what I said. How cool for someone to like your story so much that they need to translate it for a whole new audience.

It was really very awesome. I was actually in NY for the Opium.3 gig at the time, and we kept e-mailing back and forth. "Literal" vs. "symbolic" meanings of certain passages and images were the main thing. I have my copy now; I "know" what it says, but couldn't read it if I were paid.

I have a friend from the Netherlands, and I'm willing to bet he can read it...I can't wait to see him, and see if it is a language he reads and see how he likes it (maybe he could read/translate to me back) ...if you know what I mean?
