[LMB] (news and chat) Italian Interview

[Lois McMaster Bujold]

Hiya --

    An Italian journalist has done an interview of me, now up on the web 
in the original English and the Italian translation.

He also writes:  "If you take a look to the second site, you'll see that 
main page is temporarily occupied by your
original interview in English. This portal will soon be organised as a 
true mirror of the Italian one,
I mean in the graphic way. Interviews and articles will though be original.
Next days your interview will also be published by the site 
http://www.fantascienza.com
which is the first Italian web resource for science fiction. ...

Ciao!

Giampietro"

     By which I gather this stuff will shift around and be replaced by 
newer articles in due course.

    The Web is really cracking the information and language barriers 
between countries; my foreign publishing used always to be rather a 
blank to me.  I would get an offer and eventually a contract through my 
agent, sign it, and some years later author's copies of the books in 
question might or might not show up, and that was it.   Now I not only 
get e-mail from English-savvy foreign fans, but I get a peek at the 
publishers as well through their websites -- I'm thinking of the French 
comics site someone spotted for me the other day, ferex, which will 
eventually be doing the  _The Warrior's Apprentice_ graphic novelization:

    Now, instead of just being a mysterious or daunting name on a 
contract, the company has a whole personality.

    Ta, L.
