Doesn&#39;t that work? Or maybe we should let the future English publisher decide ;)Jan bhttp://janbielecki.com/sketchbooknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934319328928020965.post-61959868732496843532009-12-15T17:19:49.649+01:002009-12-15T17:19:49.649+01:00Fredrik, I think you wrote &quot;Beads and Bullets&quot; once, here on the blog.

Too bad. I really liked that. Well, coal miner isn&#39;t so bad either :)<br /><br />And yes, do read the book, it&#39;s clearly worth it.Fredrik Strömberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16504396212122957493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934319328928020965.post-799122188671197502009-12-15T15:37:29.050+01:002009-12-15T15:37:29.050+01:00It seemed somehow wrong to me at first, and now that I looked it up, &quot;collier&quot; is seriously a false friend (in French it means &quot;necklace&quot;, but not English). All English dictionaries I&#39;ve checked only list the meanings &quot;person working in a coal mine&quot; or &quot;vessel carrying coal&quot;. <br /><br />Too bad! With the right meaning it would indeed have been nicer with the allitteration ... Unless there is a coal miner in the book? :o)<br />I still haven&#39;t read it. Definitely looking forward to it!Tinethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11442329710467703684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934319328928020965.post-16534153399158204592009-12-15T13:01:36.141+01:002009-12-15T13:01:36.141+01:00Well, I actually thought the exact opposite, as Pearls and Bullets felt a bit simple. The above translation, or interpretation, stays true to the meaning of the title and keeps the alliteration. It was concieved by Göran Semb at the realeaseparty for the book, when I needed help as I was blogging about the event in English. So the honour is not mine. And I seem to remeber that it got the OK from Loka as well, but all that is a it fuzzy...Fredrik Strömberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16504396212122957493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934319328928020965.post-76295708519250236792009-12-15T12:09:37.411+01:002009-12-15T12:09:37.411+01:00I mean catchier.Tinethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11442329710467703684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4934319328928020965.post-62281119367632255902009-12-15T11:32:14.678+01:002009-12-15T11:32:14.678+01:00&quot;Pearls and Bullets&quot; might sound a bit flashier in English. :o)Tinethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11442329710467703684noreply@blogger.com
