One other challenge: the writing is not written well for
translation. I have experience writing technical material for
translation, and this book breaks many of the rules. It uses idioms,
breaks rules of grammar, and has a strong narrative voice.
This is something I would like to help Tommy with. As often with
translating from English to Chinese (or any other language), the
message gets 'lost in translation'. I have spoken with Tommy already
about this effort and I am sure he understands TOSW, although I am
available for any question you have about the content and how to
interpret it.
