Great Novelist

Two Crowns (2)

“Language is also the cause of God's detailed worldview. Language and culture are very closely related. Personality is a great trait to impress people, and language is the medium that best draws out the personality in your work. And yet, the empathy is that the problems they face, the events, the conflicts, are not strangers. The behavior and values that people demonstrate are clearly understandable. It's a very important problem in novels. ”

She was speechless.

“The writer's determination to deliver that delicate worldview is already a global wonder. Some of the words that foreigners search the most are coincidence and age. ”

It was freshman year when I wrote the language of God. The language of God was still continuing its life. I was influencing many people. The sand was the same. While I was writing something else, I led the two of them to the doorway. I moved someone. He recalled the birth of two stories. Contradiction: shy character and violent character. Articles on display in small libraries in schools and articles travelling around the world. The fate of the two books is still opposed.

“But I'm not satisfied here. ”

“Are you suggesting we go after the Prime Minister? ”

The butterfly's eyes narrow.

“That's the moment you become a candidate. There's another prize on the cannula, isn't there? ”

Another award. Anyone who knows the Ennula Award naturally comes up with another one. It's a great statue. This is because there are occasional successive award-winning writers. We call it the double crown. The Hugo award is also one of the world's top four SF literature awards. However, the phase was a prize drawn by readers, unlike the cannula phase. The World SF Association, a huge fan of science fiction in the United States, presides over awards. It is solely organized by fan organizations, not companies or publishers. In other words, it must naturally focus on the public side.

Artwork on the Ennula. The popularity of the Hugo Statue. A writer with a double crown is recognized for both contrasting qualities.

“By the way, it's time for a candidate. ”

I indifferently stared at her phone on the table. It was time for the five candidates to be concealed. Reducing a candidate by a number of votes is a way of recognition. Voting rights are reserved only for members of the World SF Association, and unlike the difficult Ennula award, anyone could become a member if they could afford to pay dues. Voting takes place over several months until the day of the awards ceremony. Although I had greater intention of choosing readers directly, this award was also limited to books translated into English and that more than 90 percent of the World SF Association members were Americans.

“Writer, let's go for the Double Crown. ”

The butterfly's solemn words scratch the back of his head.

“Even if I wanted to, there's nothing I could do, right? The same goes for cannulas, but the prize goes for the big prize. ”

Writers cannot intervene in readers' assessments.

“I see. I was wrong. ”

She slits her throat.

“I anticipate that the language of God will be the epitome of a great tribute. right after it was announced as a candidate on the cannula. ”

She's not the only one. The nominees for the annular award were determined and stories of the possibility of a double crown of coincidence were constantly coming out of the country. There are quite a few articles referring to the existence of the national merit statue. Many of Dongbaek Publishing Associates are looking forward to it. The relationship between the two phases is close. As soon as I become a candidate on either side, I wait for the news of the candidate on the other, and when I win the prize, I listen to the news of the other.

“I don't know.”

Then what about the language of God?

“Isn't there a non-English-speaking writer in the Hugo Award yet? Especially in long story novels, we know that other countries are all UK and Canada. ”

Given the proportion of books translated in the United States, it may be natural. A growing trend in Korean novels exported to the United States is inexhaustible compared to other places.

“But the language of God is already a candidate on the Ennula. I was a best-seller in every country. ”

You look up at the ceiling. The plastic blocks the sky.

“There's no point in saying it's completely impossible, because it's a statue that swings so much popularity. ”

“Writer.”

The voice of the butterfly is low.

“I am a person who has seen with my own eyes how your writing is being sold. ”

She was a confident attitude. She always moved books to many places.

“Your writing is bigger, bigger, and more loved than you think. ”

He opened his mouth, but her words were one step ahead.

“It's a book where your linguistic senses melt. It's a book with even the smallest words in the smallest countries. Protagonists and wishes, myths and traitors, nations and cultures, wars and damage. And he wrote it all down brilliantly. ”

Each letter contained a strong desire. Her first impression came to mind. greedy people. She gives her whole body strength as if she needed to see her carrying book receive a prize. Her body smells dark outside. A loud shout and an earth-shattering cheer prompts her. An unusual writer by chance and a huge work of God's language.

“It's quite possible. ”

It seemed like she was hoping for more awards. She wanted it fiercely. He wanted the language of God to be recognized in the world. It doesn't feel bad to have someone like that around. It's very passionate. It is a strong desire, so it was not unusual to be assimilated with her. I felt like I wanted to be recognized a little. I also wanted it to spread more widely. I hoped it would be enough, as she said.

“I want to climb. ”

I want to go up high. Then the phone rang. I put my hand in my pocket and pulled it out from the rose. I look across. I see a butterfly. She was holding the machine in her hand. Vibrations on one side and melodies on the other spread. The author and publishing agent have been called at the same time. You meet your eyes. You speak between the vibrations and the basic ringtones, repeated at a constant rate.

“I think I know what this is. ”

In her eyes were cheers and shouts.

“I told my subordinate to call me when the announcement came in during the meeting with the writer. ”

The announcement of the candidate for the Congregation Award. Three different kinds of sounds were mixed in the air. I'm a little dizzy. The phone was shaking dangerously, as if it were going to end soon.

“I think this is it. ”

It may be the voice of a butterfly that trembles. I slowly took my hand to the ear.

“Writer!"

You hear another voice over the phone. Yes, he replied. The voice of the rose was the same. No, I was more excited than that. I couldn't understand it because of mixed emotions and sentences.

“Say that again. ”

Rose breathes deeply as she calmly reacts. And I said,

“You've been nominated! ”

I took a deep breath. It smelled like flowers.

“The language of God may be rewarded with a great prize! ”

I laughed carelessly at the cries of the butterflies and the cheers of the roses.

“I was ashamed. ”

The butterfly still cools its red cheeks. She calmed down after saying a big congratulations. She held her hand and danced with an overwhelming amount of glorious words of coincidence. As she sighs for a short moment, she quickly turns to talk. Despite all the commotion, her suit remains undamaged.

“Then you really have to prepare for the award. ”

He pretended not to know the tail of her mouth as she flinched and took the cold coffee in front of him. The joy of what I had hoped for did not disappear for a moment.

“You mentioned a delegation? ”

“Yes.”

Being nominated means you have to attend the awards ceremony. Not to mention a lot of world-renowned writers, publishers, editors, magazines, and journalists gathered there. But he cannot go. It's a coincidence. You've put a proxy winner on the stage so far.

It was no different this time, as it was done in Tokyo literature awards or rational literature. and asked her to attend the delegation. She said she would think about it. Today's meeting was actually a good place to hear the answer.

“I think someone better than me, too. ”

She politely says no. He asked why.

“I'm good enough to watch from behind. Standing onstage is not a good fit. ”

She once again thanked me and apologized. He no longer asked for his unwavering will.

“Everyone says no. ”

The butterflies whisper in the sighs of Australia.

“Who else refused? ”

“Translator.”

“Aha.”

Translator who translated the language of God. I asked him to attend a translation that was high enough to receive an award in English. If it weren't for him, none of them would have been nominated.

“Have you met him? ”

“No.”

Through a rose, the butterfly is somewhat surprised and asked.

“Did you not send or receive any emails while translating? ”

“Yes, you said you didn't need it. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

When you translate, there are moments when you want the author's opinion. Translators then meet in person or communicate with the author via email. He also emailed Kelly Coin several times while translating her work. But this translator refused to raise his hand.

“The language of God is a book published under the name of the writer Young-hee Young-hee. ”

“· · · · · · · Yes. ”

“Writer Young-hee used to be considered a competitor by chance, and actually encouraged readers to fight. ”

But when I opened the lid, there was one author inside.

“Even that one writer is an unknown coincidence. So the translator thought he was going to get in the way of translating the language of God. He said he wanted to keep the veil covered in two or three layers. ”

The result is now. As a result, his choice was correct.

“Still, it's amazing that you gave up your chance to see a coincidence. ”

Butterflies said with all their heart.

“You don't want to know. ”

“No way. I'm sure he'll hold his teeth. You can't run away from that desire unless you read the article by chance. ”

“I see. Anyway, you refused to attend on behalf of a stranger. ”

“Obviously, it's subtle. ”

She understood the situation of the translator. In fact, not many people knew the face of coincidence, so they were limited in choosing surrogate attendees. Butterflies were worried about such a favour.

“I'm fine.”

There were still a few left. I was going to call him today.
