Comments on: Cordwainer Smith Has Been Published in Many Languages http://cordwainer-smith.com/blog/published-in-many-languages.html About his science fiction and his life, run by his daughter Rosana Tue, 03 Jan 2012 10:49:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Thierry Goubier http://cordwainer-smith.com/blog/published-in-many-languages.html/comment-page-1#comment-548 Thierry Goubier Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:32:17 +0000 http://cordwainer.your-kitchen-shop.com/blog/?p=7#comment-548 Well, I discovered Cordwainer Smith in french. And this was probably helped by the fact that Jacques Goimard, one of the french SF experts (editor and essayist), is himself a fan of Cordwainer Smith. On a concept map of the Presses Pocket SF collection in the nineties, he labeled himself as a Brave-Capitaine. Considering readership, I would say that it requires frequent editions to establish a reasonable readership in a language. In France, this means at least four different editions (two being with Jacques Goimard as collection director, at least), the last one being published in 2004.
