The story begins when one man overhears another speaking in "antique Latin." I know that's not much to go on, but I'm hoping those few facts might ring a bell for some sci-fi loving askmetafilter genius! post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.67742 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 18:22:30 -0800 garyduke shortstories sciencefiction http://ask.metafilter.com/67742/Scifi-short-story-with-Latin-speaking-protagonists#1014690 Perhaps Ursula Le Guin's story 'April in Paris'? comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.67742-1014690 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 19:06:16 -0800 Nothing http://ask.metafilter.com/67742/Scifi-short-story-with-Latin-speaking-protagonists#1014779 <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063152/">Je t'aime, je t'aime</a> comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.67742-1014779 Tue, 24 Jul 2007 21:16:40 -0800 thelloydshow http://ask.metafilter.com/67742/Scifi-short-story-with-Latin-speaking-protagonists#1015030 This sounds to me a little like <a href="http://www.iblist.com/book31788.htm">The Professor and the Mermaid</a>, by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.67742-1015030 Wed, 25 Jul 2007 06:51:35 -0800 ourobouros
