It's rushing the season, I know. But autumn is coming. And so...
Portrait of a Leaf
I planned to die young and leave a beautiful corpse. But when summer turned scorching, I did my small best to shade my comrades from the sun. This is the result.
But I do not complain. Others gave, and suffered, more. I did what I could. That's enough.

ReplyDeleteWow! It's a pity, my dear friend, but let me inform you that Russian-language of your Chasing the Phoenix saw its printing facilities and at present it's on sale at Moscow International Bookfair. Some picss will follow soon.

Pardon my mistake. Of course, I mean Russian-language translation of your novel.

Terrific! One has to wonder what Russian SF fans think about Swanwick stories and novels set in Russia. Hopefully, he has good translators.
ReplyDeleteRussian fans receive Michael's works set in Russia quite positively. He likes Russia and our culture and they sense it quite easily. And Michael's Russian translators are really good.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, in his latest collection Not So Much Said the Cat, Michael has two more stories set in Russia, namely Libertarian Russia and Pushkin the American.
