Thomas Christensen	1. Thomas Christensen (www.rightreading.com) is your host--author of several books, editor and publisher (North Point Press, Mercury House), translator (Like Water for Chocolate, Fuentes, Carpentier, Cortázar, Céline), director of publications (Asian Art Museum), graphic designer, king of the fishes, etc., etc. For more see my bio. In the early 1990s, Jay Schaefer of Chronicle Books and some others held regular get-togethers for San Francisco publishing people, a sort of Algonquin Roundtable West (all we lacked was the wit). At one of these, I met another Thomas Christensen, who was a production guy at HarperSanFrancisco (across the street at that time from Mercury House, where I was working). He said that Knopf had called him asking him to translate García Márquez's The General in His Labyrinth, and he had to decline (not knowing Spanish). That's the closest I got to translating Gabo--as Lee Goerner, the editor at Knopf who had been looking for me, called him. (I ended up reviewing the book for the San Francisco Chronicle Book Review.) Also, in college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I got some speeding tickets for another Thomas Christensen (not no. 5 below, surely?). This was convenient as I used to blame my own misdeeds on him. So you see, of Thomas Christensens there really is no end.

He works with computer graphics programs and is into popular music; he set up a forum page for the "Danish goth/industrial scene." He lives in Copenhagen, but he is a different TC from no. 9 below. At one time we exchanged links, as we both have Singapore pictures and reviews pages, but our websites have both evolved since then.

My greatest passion is to travel: I have visited most of the European continent and last summer I spent five weeks in Mexico. Within the last year I also spent time in Austria, France, Germany, Russia, Spain and Sweden. I speak English and Russian more or less fluently, Swedish fairly and have a knowledge of German and French."
