'Zackly. (Fortunately, civilisation still lurks in fiction; I was staying with m'friend la_marquise_de_ in Cambridge this weekend - whose novel Living With Ghosts might interest you, by the way - and in her bookshelves, next to her copy of Swordspoint, was a photocopy of a Riverside story I hadn't read. Yay...)
'Course I read it! I love Riverside, me. Not that story, tho'. To my shame, I can't remember the title; it was published in F&SF (I think?), and featured a girl who wanted Richard to teach her to fight...
Wow. That's ancient: "The Swordsman whose Name was not Death." One of my faves. It & 2 others were reprinted at the back of the 2004 U.S. edition of SWORDSPOINT, so I keep thinking everyone's read them by now. So glad to know you were still able to find it!
But of course! Patrick has never translated me; I like people who leave my words alone. The minute, the very minute he starts mucking around with 'em, I'll tell you, this relationship is over...
(Also, he came to see my play! From France! To South Shields!)
Naaah, that's well within the grasp everybody in France has of the basics of English pronounciation. On the other hand, they will talk about Speedairmann or Sarah Pahlinn.
