Asian Language Versions of Naked Conversations

Nikkei Business Publications, Inc., JAPAN has signed a deal to publish Naked Conversations in Japanese, and while I didn't get the name of the publisher, there will be a version of our book in Orthodox Chinese. We understand there are deals being hammeted out to publish us in a coupe of European languages as well.

I have no idea what this means in terms of royalties and sales, but for Robert and I, this is an honor to be able to address people all over the world this way. We wrote the book with global audiences in mind.

BTW, global distribution of the English version continues to wend its way at a pace appropriate for the Era of covered wagons.  We understand that it will be in general distribution in the UK in early March.  This is the way it works and there really isn't much  Robert and I can do about it.

Small correction, I think the correct term should be be "traditional" chinese vs. "simplfied" chinese.

Regardless, congrats on the deal... I'm superhappy to hear that your thoughts on the subject are spreading to the east. I think the market in Asia is ripe for something like Naked Conversations.

Your book Naked Conversations would be so revolutionary in the free expression toilet of repressive China.
