\"NW<\/a>Some may recall that, back in January, the reprint of “Planetfall”<\/a> at the World SF site caught the eye of Nowa Fantastyka<\/em>, a prominent, long-lived Polish SF\/F magazine. They asked me if they could publish the story in Polish.<\/p>\n

I asked fiction editor Marcin Zwierzchowski if it was all right for my friend Aneta Bronowska to vet the translation, since my Polish is non-existent. Aneta combines three attributes that made her ideal for this task: she was born in Poland and has lived there all her life; she has exquisite antennae; and she\u2019s intimately familiar with the Spider Silk universe. I knew the translation was good when Aneta said it made her cry, like its English original.<\/p>\n

The Nowa Fantastyka<\/em> issue with my story just appeared: here\u2019s a link<\/a> to a promotional copy of the magazine that shows selected pages. This is the second translation of my work — To Seek Out New Life<\/em><\/a> came out in Japanese — but the first one of my fiction. The promotional file does not show that the story bears an illustration that Aneta was kind enough to scan and send me. It\u2019s a lovely, otherworldly rendition that encapsulates nearly all the elements in the story \u2013 except for the amulet\/command module that traverses each portion of the story like a falling star.<\/p>\n
