Hello Andrej - I came to discover your site via Nifty where I read "Neither Angel nor Hustler". It's a lovely story and kept me riveted.
I really loved the story "Neither Angel nor Hustler"... on top of the beautiful love story between Nicola and Giorgio, it reminded me of my time in Italy. I was at University at that time and there were 2 exchange students (girls I hasten to add) from Italy who were studying at the University where my boyfriend studied.
So during the term break, my boyfriend and I were invited to visit Italy. It was a rather strange experience for us - because we didn't do the usual touristy stuff - but instead went to stay with the family of 1 of the girls - we got to understand a bit more about Italian culture, food and traditions.
Coming from an Asian country, I found the narrow cobbled streets quite strange at first - but now I love them and I imagine the boys in your story living their lives out amongst these cobbled streets. I also imagine Giorgio being one of the baristas you see in numerous cafes.
Actually, I did read that you were in Japan for a while, I wonder if that had influenced your habits?
While I was on your site, I took the opportunity of reading about Matt and you - what a touching story. It must be rather difficult for both of you especially during the festive season as I imagine Matt has to fulfill his obligations to his family. Never mind, the main thing is that both of you are in each other's minds, and as the English say - absence makes the heart grow fonder :-)
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Lots of love,
Bani
