IN YOUR SPRING ISSUE YOU NOTED A DUTCH publisher, Van Gennep, will be bringing out books by two Galiano Island authors, Jane Rule and Audrey Thomas. As I am working on the Dutch translation of Audrey Thomas' Songs My Mother Taught Me right now (for Van Gennep), I thought I'd let you know the book will be published in September under the title of Isobel Aileen (Isabel Alone). I don't live on Galiano Island, but on Vancouver Island. Other books by Canadian writers I've translated into Dutch are Because of the War, selected stories by Norman Levine (for Van Gennep), and The Progress of Love by Alice Munro (for a different publisher, Goossens). I'm to do another Alice Munro book for Goossens, who has just bought the rights to all of Mavis Gallant's work.
