How did this happen?  Well the story kind of goes like this: last winter a Seoul publisher, Book Cosmos, contacted me about buying the Korean rights for my book.  They offered a generous advance, plus royalties, if I would let them handle the Korean market.  I said Sure, and this book appeared nine months later.  I have to say I like the layout better than that of the American version, but don’t tell anyone I admitted it.

Is it a good translation?  I have no idea, but it sure reads pretty.  Apparently it’s on a couple of Blogs now as well.  Of course for all I know they’re panning it.
