Not P but DeLillo: Zero K Chinese Translation

[Sangkug Yi]

Congratulations!

My own experience of translating GR into Korean wasn't very pleasant one mainly due to my inexperience with dealing with publishers. Hope you get your GR translation out.

It seems that the new edition isn't out yet, but judging from the samples of suggested changes they sent me, many serious errors still remain. In any case, I won't be able to have my own version published anytime soon since they have sole publishing rights in China. I'll have to either wait for it to expire or convince them of the superiority of my own translation. But they are already committed, which is understandable.

It's fairly short, and nowhere near as difficult to translate as GR. But I do have a number of questions now that the first pass is finished. I hope it's OK for me to ask them here. There won't be too many, I promise.
