- 8) What English-language authors learned English as a second language?
- AUTHOR FIRST LANGUAGE
- Arlen, Michael (Dikran Kouyoumjian) Armenian?
- Asimov, Isaac Yiddish*
- Bellow, Saul Yiddish, French?
- Brodsky, Joseph Russian
- Bronowski, Jacob Polish
- Broumas, Olga Greek
- Codrescu, Andrei Romanian
- Conrad, Joseph Polish
- Dinesen, Isak (Karen Blixen) Danish
- Heym, Stefan (Helmut Flieg) German

- Traven, B. German?
- Tutuola, Amos Hausa? (from Nigeria)
- van Gulik, Robert Dutch
- Wertenbaker, Timberlake French
- Wongar, Banumbir Arnhem Land aboriginal language
- Zukofsky, Louis Yiddish
-
- *Learned English as a child.
-
- B. Traven is a pseudonym for someone of uncertain national origin, who
- went to great lengths to obfuscate his past. German was probably his
- first language, despite his disclaimers that it was English. (More detail:
- His works were mostly originally published in German, and usually
- translated into English by someone else, but the US edition of THE
- TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE was edited for word order from B. Traven's
- own translation. (And we know he was faking the bad word order, since
- his letters and diaries are in proper order.) He did sometimes publish
- in English first a few times, and that part of a pre-publication English
- manuscript for THE DEATH SHIP (originally published in German) is
- known.)
-
- Other possible candidates include Timothy Mo, who grew up in Hong Kong
- and was later educated in England. There are numerous Indian and
- Anglo-Indian writers, like Vikram Seth (Hindi/Punhabi/Hindustani),
- R. K. Narayan (Tamil/Kannada), Raja Rao (Kannada), Bharati Mukerji
- (Bengali), Gita Mehta (?), Anita Desai (?), Markandaya (?), Tagore
- (Bengali), and Salman Rushdie (Hindi/Urdu), for whom English may very
- well be their second language. Some of the modern Soviet expatriates
- write in English now (see Smirnov, above). Also Guneli Gun (Turkish),
- Wole Soyinka, Ayi Kwei Armah (Yoruba?), Ngugi wa Thiong'o (Kikuyu),
- Dambudzo Marechera (Ndebele?), many other African writers, Waguih Ghali
- (Arabic), Walter Abish (German), Apirana Taylor (Maaori), Albert Wendt
- (Samoan). Other possibilities include a number of Chinese and East
- Asian authors. Also possibly Mavis Gallant, who spoke French as a child
- in Montreal. Jan Williem Van der Wetering wrote in Dutch and then
- translated his books into English.
-
- How about switches to other languages? French has Samuel Beckett
- (English), Camara Laye (Dahomey), (possibly) Julien Green (English),
- Leon Troyat (Lev Tarassov, a.k.a. Lev Tarossian) (Russian? Armenian?),
- and Elie Wiesel (Magyar and Yiddish). Russian has Fazil Iskander
- (Abkhaz) and Chingiz Aitmatov (a Central Asian Turkish dialect).
- Leonora Carrington wrote several short stories in French or Spanish,
- before their translation into English. Was Paul Celan's first language
- was Hungarian?
-
- Then there are bilingual-from-birth writers, such as Liam O Flaithearta
- and Sean O Faoilean.
-
- 9) What books or plays have been written about scientists?
-

- of most systems, this question is restricted to non-SF only.)

- 10) Is there really an S. Morgenstern, listed as the author of THE PRINCESS
- BRIDE and THE SILENT GONDOLIERS? And what is the reunion scene?
-
- No, it's really William Goldman. When you write for the reunion scene, this
- is what you get (or what Mary Margaret Schuck, schuck@ben.dciem.dnd.ca,
- got anyway):
-
- =======
- Dear Reader,
-
- Thank you for sending in, and no, this is not the reunion scene, because of
- a certain roadblock named Kermit Shog.
-
- As soon as bound books were ready, I got a call from my lawyer, Charley --
- (you may not remember, but Charley's the one I called from California to go
- down in the blizzard and buy _The Princess Bride_ from the used-book
- dealer). Anyway, he usually begins with Talmudic humor, wisdom jokes, only
- this time he just says, "Bill, I think you better get down here," and before
- I'm even allowed a 'why?' he adds, "Right away if you can."
-
- Panicked, I zoom down, wondering who could have died, did I flunk my tax
- audit, what? His secretary lets me into his office, and Charley says, "This
- is Mr. Shog, Bill."
-
- And there he is, sitting in the corner, hands on his briefcase, looking
- exactly like an oily version of Peter Lorre. I really expected him to say,
- "Give me the Falcon, you must, or I'll be forced to keeeeel you."
-
- "Mr. Shog is a lawyer," Charley goes on. And this next was said
- underlined: "_He_ _represents_ _the_ _Morgenstern_ _estate_."
-
- Who knew? Who could have dreamed such a thing existed, an estate of a man
- at least a million years dead that no one ever heard of over here anyway?
- "Perhaps you will give me the Falcon now," Mr. Shog said. That's not
- true. What he said was, "Perhaps you will like a few words with your client
- alone now," and Charley nodded and out he went, and once he was gone I said,
- "Charley, my God, I never figured --" and he said, "Did Harcourt?"* and I
- said, "Not that they ever mentioned" and he said, "Ooch," the grunting sound
- lawyers make when they know they've backed a loser. "What does he want?" I
- said. "A meeting with Mr. Jovanovich," Charley answered.
-
- *_The Princess Bride_ was first published in hardcover in 1973 by Harcourt
- Brace Jovanovich.
-
- Now, William Jovanovich is a pretty busy fella, but it's amazing when you're
- confronted with a potential multibillion-dollar lawsuit how fast you can
- wedge in a meeting. We trooped over.
-
- All the Harcourt Brass was there, I'm there, Charley; Mr. Shog, who would
- sweat in an igloo he's so swarthy, is streaming. Harcourt's lawyer started
- things: "We're terribly terribly sorry, Mr. Shog. It's an unforgivable
- oversight, and please accept our sincerest apologies." Mr. Shog said,
- "That's a beginning, since all you did was defame and ridicule the greatest
- modern master of Florinese prose who also happened to be for many years a
- friend of my family." Then the business head of Harcourt said, "All right,
- how much do you want?"
-
- Biiig mistake. "_Money_?" Mr. Shog cried. "You think this is petty
- blackmail that brings us together? _Resurrection_ is the issue, sir.
- Morgenstern must be undefiled. You will publish the original version." And
- now a look at me. "In the _unabridged_ form."
-
- I said, "I'm done with it, I swear. True, there's just the reunion scene
- business we printed up, but there's not liable to be a rush on that, so it's
- all past as far as I'm concerned." But Mr. Shog wasn't done with me:
- "_You_, who _dared_ to _defame_ a _master's_ characters are now going to put
- _your_ words in their mouths? Nossir. No, I say." "It's just a little
- thing," I tried; "a couple pages only."
-
- Then Mr. Jovanovich started talking softly. "Bill, I think we might skip
- sending out the reunion scene just now, don't you think?" I made a nod.
- Then he turned to Mr. Shog. "We'll print the unabridged. You're a man
- who's interested in immortality for his client, and there aren't as many of
- you around in publishing as there used to be. You're a gentleman, sir."
- "Thank you," from Mr. Shog; "I like to think I am, at least on occasion."
- For the first time, he smiled. We all smiled. Very buddy-buddy now. Then,
- an addendum from Mr. Shog: "Oh. Yes. Your first printing of the
- unabridged will be 100,000 copies."
-
- ****
-
- So far, there are thirteen lawsuits, only eleven involving me directly.
- Charley promises nothing will come to court and that eventually Harcourt
- will publish the unabridged. But legal maneuvering takes time. The
- copyright on Morgenstern runs out in early '78, and all of you who wrote in
- are having your names put alphabetically on computer, so whichever happens
- first, the settlement or the year, you'll get your copy.
-
- The last I was told, Kermit Shog was willing to come down on his first
- printing provided Harcourt agreed to publish the sequel to _The Princess
- Bride_, which hasn't been translated into English yet, much less published
- here. The title of the sequel is: _Buttercup's Baby: S. Morgenstern's
- Glorious Examination of Courage Matched Against the Death of the Heart_.
-
- I'd never heard of it, naturally, but there's a Ph.D. candidate in Florinese
- Lit up at Columbia who's going through it now. I'm kind of interested in
- what he has to say.
-
- (signed) William Goldman
-
- P.S.
-
- I'm really sorry about this, but you know the story that ends, "disregard
- previous wire, letter follows?" Well, you've got to disregard the business
- about the Morgenstern copyright running out in '78. That was a definite
- boo-boo but Mr. Shog, being Florinese, has trouble, naturally, with our
- numbering system. The copyright runs out in _'87_, not '78.
-
- Worse, he died. Mr. Shog I mean. (Don't ask how could you tell. It was
- easy. One morning he just stopped sweating, so there it was.) What makes
- it worse is that the whole affair is now in the hands of his kid, named --
- wait for it -- Mandrake Shog. Mandrake moves with all the verve and speed
- of a lizard flaked out on a river bank.
-
- The only good thing that's happened in this whole mess is I finally got a
- shot at reading _Buttercup's Baby_. Up at Columbia they feel it's
- definitely superior to _The Princess Bride_ in satirical content.
- Personally, I don't have the emotional attachment to it, but it's a helluva
- story, no question.
-
- Give it a look-see when you have the chance.
- -- August, 1978
-
- P.P.S.
-
- This is getting humiliating. Have you been reading in the papers about the
- trade problems America is having with Japan? Wll, maddening as this may
- be, since it reflects on the reunion scene, we're also having problems with
- Florin which, it turns out, is our leading supplier of Cadminium which,
- it also turns out, NASA is panting for.
-
- So all Florinese-American litigation, which includes the thirteen lawsuits,
- has been officially put on hold.
-
- What this means is that the reunion scene, for now, is caught between our
- need for Cadminium and diplomatic relations between the two countries.
-
- But at least the movie got made. Mandrake Shog was shown it, and
- word reached me he even smiled once or twice. Hope springs eternal.
-
- -- May, 1987

- 13) What is the difference between the male and female editions of DICTIONARY
- OF THE KHAZARS by Milorad Pavic?
-

-
- FEMALE:
-
- And he gave me a few of the Xeroxed sheets of paper lying on the table in
- front of him. As he passed them to me, his thumb brushed mine and I
- trembled from the touch. I had the sensation that our past and our future
- were in our fingers and that they had touched. And so, when I began to read
- the proffered pages, I at one moment lost the train of thought in text and
- drowned it in my own feelings. In these seconds of absence and
- self-oblivion, centuries passed with every read but uncomprehended and
- unabsorbed line, and when, after a few moments, I came to and re-established
- contact with the text, I knew that the reader who returns from the open seas
- of his feelings is no longer the same reader who embarked on that sea only a
- short while ago. I gained and learned more by not reading than by reading
- those pages, and when I asked Dr. Muawja where he had got them he said
- something that astonished me even more.
-
- MALE:
-
- And he gave me a few of the Xeroxed sheets of paper lying on the table in
- front of him. I could have pulled the trigger then and there. There
- wouldn't be a better moment. There was only one lone witness present in the
- garden -- and he was a child. But that's not what happened. I reached out
- and took those exciting sheets of paper, which I enclose in this letter.
- Taking them instead of firing my gun, I looked at those Saracen fingers with
- their nails like hazelnuts and I thought of the tree Halevi mentions in his
- book on the Khazars. I thought of how each and every one of us is just such
- a tree the taller we grow toward the sky, through the wind and rain toward
- God, the deeper we must sink our roots through the mud and subterranean
- waters toward hell. With these thoughts in my mind, I read the pages given
- me by the green-eyed Saracen. They shattered me, and in disbelief I asked
- Dr. Muawja where he had got them.
