Memory’s Last Breath is out in Chinese: 愛我的人也呼吸著我：我正在失智，我面對生病的孤寂，我要留住記憶的最後一息
The main pictures shows the cover of MEMORY’S LAST BREATH: FIELD NOTES ON MY DEMENTIA in its Chinese edition. As if that were not exciting enough, I got a Facebook message from a Taiwanese reader, Erin Wu:
“Dear Mrs Saunders, I am Erin Wu from Taiwan. Just read the chinese translation of your great book– Memory’s Last Breath. As a family of a dementia patient and a psychiatrist, I was deeply inspired by your story.” Erin also sent me this link, where information about my book is published:
Thanks so much, Erin Wu!

To find out in which other non-Western alphabets my book is being published, see my earlier blog post, Gerda’s j_wls in a language that used to have no v_wls

Baie dankie, Rene. Dis voel eintlik snaaks, want dinge gebeur met my boek waarmee ek niks te doen het nie–my agent kry die kontrakte en doen al die werk. Met die publikasie in Engels het ek aan elke stap deelgeneem en dit was baie harde werk. Die publikasie in ander tale is ‘n sterre-reen waarvoor die heelal verantwoordelik is! Ek stuur my dankies uit in die firmament! Mooi bly.
