it's really hard to find translations in America of anything
that isn't a literary classic, or at least acknowledgeably
highbrow. a shame, too, since i think there would be a great
deal of interest in certain circles, for example, in a line
that translated the best of the Sere Noire books. certainly
it's the only way i'll ever read them, as i don't read
french.
perhaps a small press in the future might investigate
this?
i feel this lack in other areas, too. i like swashbuckling
fiction, for example: there's a ton of french, japanese and
chinese work out there that i think would be of interest to
american readers, if only it were better known.
