“Whenever I visit Korea she [Kang] buys me lunch and takes me to a gallery. As if all this wasn't enough, she has incredible respect for translation as a creative, artistic practice - she insists that each English version is 'our book', offered to share her fees with me when she found out I wasn't getting paid for translating her publicity stuff, always asks the editor to credit me, and does so herself whenever she's interviewed. Too good to be true.” IfsDoeBookEnoughAsksFoundStuffPracticeCreativeSharePaidIncrediblesCreditVersionsBeing TrueArtisticEditorsTake MeLunchTranslateTranslationsKoreaPublicityGalleryFeesCreative ArtToo Good To Be True Author:Deborah Smith

And even if something more exciting does manage to sneak through, it gets the same insultingly clichéd cover slapped on it anyway, so no one will ever know.” IfsKnowsDoeTogetherRomanceMotherDifferencesDaughterIndiaExcitingSouthSizeEastTraditionalManageMealsPreparingStereotypeAsiaSneakSweepingSampleMother And DaughterSagaLushGeishaEast AsiaSample Size Author:Deborah Smith
