6/25/05: That's me all over

[davidlevine]

It appears that my story "Tk'tk'tk" from the March issue of Asimov's has been translated into Spanish (in issue 19 of Asimov Ciencia Ficcion) and reviewed in Finnish. The best translation I've been able to come up with for the Finnish review is as follows:

Myyntihenkilö is vieraalla planetary shop tietokonejärjestelmää , only kielimuurin for ploy no really affair. And eventually husband waste omaisuuttaan väärinymmärrysten for and starvation began became , until husband eventually discover locally vegetarian restaurant , whereof may edible grub. Glorious good tale kielimuurista kultturien sometimes. Loppuratkaisu oli anew the idealist nössö.

That's definitely my story, and it sounds like they liked it... I think.

I also got two short story rejections on Friday, and finished the proposal for novel #2. I'll be stuffing things in envelopes tomorrow.

I think "glorious good tale" about says it all. ::grin::

[davidlevine]

Yes, but what does "kielimuurista kultturien sometimes" mean??

Since I've been in school and am behind on much news, what's up with novel #1? Congrats on the Finnish review, I think.

Still waiting on final word from the publisher.

Consider my fingers crossed that all is well! :D

You're published in Asimov? I am *not* worthy!

[davidlevine]

You are, too, worthy. I, for example, can't play a note on any instrument.

But I'm sure that if we put our minds to it we can find something we both like to do :-)
