I first want to say a big thank you to you, Andrej. I hope this message finds you doing well with a great soul of peace and a happy spirit!
I read the story: "Alain's Diary". The name threw off me in hearing it. Yet this style of writing was very good the way it was written as a journal!! Or called a Diary.
I used to do one of those years ago and then just got out of the habit of doing so. Did not feel like putting personal feelings on my computer and worry about if someone would hack and read.
Anyway the Alain and Jacques that met early and grew into quite a relationship which separation and later to meet up in a weird way, but to find out that Jacques was Jean Luc, the son of the man that owns the mines company. Then how it took off from there after the shock.
The different sex in the cave/tunnels in the mines with a couple of guys and then so many different things. All the different experiences he had. Yet, in the back of his mind the one man that turned his head was that of Jacques!
I also loved how Jean Luc-Jack stood up to his Dad in accepting Alain. Then how Dad respected Alain especially after coming to him on a certain issue.
I loved the ending:
"I'll write on you just once more, when I'll give you to Jac, in front of him. And then, I'll be totally naked before him, not just and not only physically, but above all my soul. August 22nd 1974, Saturday 10:30 a.m.
IN A SHORT WHILE WE WILL BE UNITED FOREVER IN FRONT OF OUR BELOVED ONES I LOVE YOU JAC MY ONLY GREAT LOVE.."
I'll be reading this one again! As just like your other ones that you have written, I, depending on the mood, will go pick one of the stories and re-read again!!
So thanks for sharing this wonderful colorful stories. I really enjoyed reading this one, Andrej! All of your stories have a wonderful unique style and love each being different and yet at the same time interesting!!
Great work, Andrej!
Thanks,
Geno

Hi Andrej,
I just finished reading 'Alain's Diary'. What a wonderful story! I must confess, at this point that I am hopelessly addicted to your stories. I agree with Alain and Jean Luc. Gay marriage should be legalized everywhere!
One of the things I really like about your tales is that you write from so many different perspectives. Sometimes the stories are quite 'polished' in the literary sense. And others, like Alain's Diary are written exactly as a boy his age would write and think. Marvelous! When I read, I can 'hear' the characters speaking english with an accent. Sometimes, Alain's english was not always exactly correct but the meanings were very clear. It's so refreshing to read something that hasn't been reworked so much that it loses its spontaneity and realism.
Next, I'm going to read 'Black Clover'. I can hardly wait to see what's in store for me! I noticed that you've written many, many, many, many stories in Italian. I hope they are being translated into english soon. One Day I will have read all of the english language ones and I'll either have to learn Italian or 'die' of boredom.
(smiles)
Your happy fan,
Sarina

Thank you so very much for allowing me to read you wonderful stories.
Since I have received my password, etc., I have read "Alain's Diary", "Fabrizio's First NO", "Finally Together"and "A Short Escape". The thing that I find so very moving is the wonderful warmth of your stories and the happiness that is conveyed in them. When reading, there are moments when I become so emotionally overwhelmed that I have tears in my eyes. I guess it is because I am a sick old man, or maybe it is my Italian genes that make my emotions surface and so enjoy what you have written.
I have read some of your stories in the past, and though I look forward to more translations, I am sure that I will re-read many of the stories that I have already read. I can read Italian to some extent, but it is not as easy as reading in English for me.
In closing, let me again say "Mille grazie!" You have a true and beautiful talent and I am so happy to have found your web site again.
Most sincerely, Eugene

Hi Andrej
first of all I want to apologise for all my mistakes and I'm not better in my grammar. ;.) I know. But, sorry, English isn't my original language. It's realy difficult for me to write English. I'm better in reading it ... ;-)
You did one hell of a good job by writing Alain's Diary. It took my time to work, sickness homework and holiday to come up to your last chapter. (Shed some tears, laught aloud, felt happy with them here and there - i'll admit) first I thought, what a boring story, other are thrilling. But you got better and better with each chapter and now I'm loving it. Especialy the last chapter. So much emotions are in it. I really love it.
At one or the other occasion I saw me in there. Like, the first time someone tried to enter me. A very painful memoir. Then I thought, thats it, I'm never with a man again. It lasted more than ten years and a fake relationship with a woman till my brain set in again. And of course the internet show'd me that it could be something... so that I became aware that the life I was living was not mine. I did quit, we where never maried. So it was just that. I moved away and on with my own life. It needed a while before I found someone I wanted...
So, now I'm married, with a man and happy. It is possible to marry a man in our country.
Whatsoever... congratulations and I hope to read really soon moore about that boy/man.
yours
Mac

Dear Andrej
Just finished Alain's Diary all at one sitting. I loved it of course. I especially like the utopian elements - unconditional and undying love between two men. Truly I think that it is rare and most beautiful when it is found.
I also liked the acceptance from the sister and the father in law.
What moved me most was the reality of the father dying and the son having to go to work. That is the harsh karma for so many young bright people.
It is interesting how with your stories they move from eros to agape almost seamlessly.
In any case thank you for this beautiful story and once again for the access to your writings.
warm regards
Gary
