Eric Feldt’s famous Coast watchers, the story of the Aus tralians who operated from behind the lines in New Guinea during the war, has now been translated into French under the title Espions Suicide. It is pub lished by Librairie Artheme Fayard, 18 Rue du Saint- Gothard, Paris 14e. Local price is 15 fcs. It appears as one of a “Secret War” series.
Mr. Feldt comments in a note: “I am laboriously read ing it in its French form and although it’s a great help that I wrote the original English version myself, it still isn’t enough. Your bilingual and French-speaking readers in the New Hebrides, New Caledonia and French Polynesia will, no doubt, do better. Incidentally, the publishers say at the front of their edition that it is Trans lated from the Australian’. I didn’t know I was as colloquial as that!”
