A review of the Danish Magazine Science Fiction, in which one of my stories appeared in September came up on a Danish blog.  Sadly, I don't speak any Danish, so I don't know if my story got a good review, a bad one or was simply mentioned.  Can anybody help?
 
The relevant passage is:
 
De øvrige noveller er mindst ligeså interessante og samlet set er kvaliteten høj. De fleste af novellerne vil jeg kalde for lidt blødere science fiction med “begge ben på Jorden” og med mennesker i centrum, med undtagelse af fx “Tenth Orbit” af Gustavo Bondoni eller Harry Harrisons “The Road To 3000 AD” der i personløse fortællinger udbreder sig i hele kosmos.
 
And for anyone willing and able to read the whole thing, it can be found at:
under the title Science Fiction 15.
 
Thanks so much!!!

Online danish to english translator:

gramtrans.com/

not a perfect translation, but here's what that passage says:

The other short stories are at least likewise interesting and all in all the quality is high.

Most of the short stories I'll call as a little softer science-fiction with "both legs on the Earth" and with human beings at a center, with the exception of e.g. "Tenth Orbit" of Gustavo Bondoni or Harry Harrison's "The Road To 3000 AD" that spreads in personless stories in whole cosmos.

suggest visiting that page and using it to translate the entire blog entry.

Via the Lovesauce Universal Translator:

"The highest-quality novels and mindsets feature interesting ligatures or the occult. The flensing of novels will jangle violently for the blood of science fiction and make it "beg Papa Jordan". The central mannequin is the fanciful "Tenth Orbit" by Gustavo Bondini, which recalls Harry Harrison's "The Road to 3000," a personal foretelling of the death of the entire universe."

Sounds like I should put it in the "Brag" post.  Although I'm not sure if Science fiction in general will thank me for making it beg papa Jordan...
