I just finished reading your long story A Proud Furosha and loved it. You made me cry a number of times, with distress and with joy, and clap my hands - you worked me through many emotions.
A lovely story, very well invented and written! Thank you!

Andrej,
I have no clue who you are or of what nationality etc. etc. but I read your stories and wonder repeatedly, how does he write about Italians, or Japanese, or whomever - and always well.
I have joyfully completed the Proud Furosha - and went back to some of the Nifty prolific writer stories of yours and read some. Deeply appreciate them. Wish I were able to write as well. Wish I were also young and free - I am neither - but no matter.
Thank you.

Hello Andrej,
Your story 'A Proud Furosha' is developing in such a sensitive way, as well as being latently erotic. You had me in tears several times, especially when Ken was chatting with the old man after defending him from attack. I'm hoping that Ken will finally be able to accept his rape by Saburo.
I'm a mature-age Australian gay man. I was a Prof at Todai for a year some years ago and am familiar with many of the scenes which you describe. It's seems that you must also have been in Tokyo? Also, you seem to have an appreciation of the Japanese character.
I'm looking forward to further of your stories
Cheers
John

Hello Andrej.
I don't know if you're japanese or not, but the story A Proud Furosha is terrific, and beautifully writen. It's very different at any others find in nifty.

I am so amazed and impressed with your story, "A Proud Furosha."
You are showing me a side of Japan that I never saw at all when I was there. I feel so much empathy for Ken. If it were possible, I would definitely tell him to come home with me to live.
I look forward to reading more of your stories.
Sincerely,

I read "A Proud Furosha". I very much enjoyed this story, it gives an interesting look into a part of Tokyo that you rarely see. In that area, it reminded me of the movie "Tokyo Godfathers". Have you seen that?
