I have to admit that the translation costs were something I didn't think of. It is a bit difficult indeed, especially since the costs of the book can rise unpleasantly because of it. I hope you will manage to publih more of Angelica Gorodischer's works and I am keeping my fingers crossed for this to happen.<br />Good luck and keep up the great work! :)<br /><br />Chad, it is and it deserves all the attention it can get :)Mihai A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08534691063946241019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-57452455679696263522010-11-20T16:38:42.820+02:002010-11-20T16:38:42.820+02:00Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I...Hi Mihai, enjoyed your review of Kalpa Imperial. It's one of my favorite books that we've published. One note: it sold quite well in the USA whether you're considering it as a translation, a book from an indie press, or a novel-in-stories, or just a plain novel. Oddly, two years after it came out we even sold hardcover right to ibooks (the cover of that edition is traditional fantasy, perhaps not the best fit to the book). The book has its fans (it's taught in a couple of colleges) and we are hoping to publish more of Angélica's books here but we can't afford to commission a translation so we're at the mercy of translators working on the books for their degrees or out of love and so far none of them have sent us a finished book. Fingers crossed as I'd love to read and publish more of her work.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05603870693002285877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-35888283985149724472010-11-19T12:06:30.919+02:002010-11-19T12:06:30.919+02:00"Kalpa Imperial" is a great read and Ang..."Kalpa Imperial" is a great read and Angelica Gorodischer a great writer indeed :)Mihai A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08534691063946241019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-59221227356793410462010-11-18T18:31:48.361+02:002010-11-18T18:31:48.361+02:00I just finished reading this book about a week ago...I just finished reading this book about a week ago. It was truly a great read.

I will still look for Angelica Gorodischer's books though, because she is a wonderful writer :)Mihai A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08534691063946241019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991760003960066476.post-84324140158400760222010-11-18T12:23:46.030+02:002010-11-18T12:23:46.030+02:00Mihai, the book sounds really interesting.
But I ...Mihai, the book sounds really interesting.<br /><br />But I don't think it is the kind of sf/f book that appeals to the american fandom, at least judging from your review, so perhaps that is why no more works of her have been translated.rreugenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599923785669993160noreply@blogger.com
