Dear Andrej:
I start my letter in this personal way because, after reading more of your stories, I feel as if I almost know you. In the past week or so I have read "Akim, Akim", "Kea Tribe", and, most recently, "Boy-San".
"Akim, Akim...", I thought at the time (I read that one first) was just beautiful. And, of course, I had tears of joy in my eyes many times.
The "Kea Tribe" was a different type of story, and, of course I was sad with many of the situations and was happy with the outcome. The only thing that I thought, though, was that the ending was a little too abrupt.
But, THEN, I read "Boy-San". I don't know of a singular story that I have ever read that has moved me so deeply. In fact, just sitting here writing this is causing me to have tears in my eyes.
I don't know how you can write about things that so many people in society are upset about and make it sound so beautiful. At the end of Boy-San I had to stop so many times to cry that I thought I would never finish it.
My love to you
Ed
