If only I could translate my story into English,

...and then publish it here or somewhere else on the internet, chapter by chapter, and ask your opinions.

Like "the House of the Leaves". It was done that way before publishing. But I am not an English speaker.

So - alas! It is not possible. Translating it into English would be a gigantic, Gargantuan job for me, or better said impossible. As the aforementioned critic says, my vocabulary is very large, my language is rich, and I have succeeded exceedingly well in describing the "rutty, fever-sick" (my words) and oppressing atmosphere of the criminal, sinful and possibly dangerous Bangkok. Not possible to translate it into English, at least by me.

No - that story is not for masses. I will add those hidden CL hints here and there (a girl with lipstick on her face like marmalade; a fortune-teller who looks at his cards and says "beware of the club!" and later a police officer who says: do you still want it - the club? The club of cards looks like a clover -- child lover -- and it used to be a clover [trèfle] in French in the 1800 or so.)

And many other similar hints.

I hope NFiH would see the story and tell his opinion about the story, but in fact he has already done so, a few years ago, many years ago. Yes -- I understood all the nuances of your answer, also translated it with Google, got the incorrect translation, and understood the hints in the incorrect translation.

Sigh. My best code message to NFiH was the message that, after many turns, led to Kovalam Beach in India, and finally led to the picture of two of small my grandnieces (a perfectly decent picture), in other words to S. and S., who were daughters of S.

I met those S's some time ago, the younger, S, now 17, hugged me and said it was very nice to see you, as we talked I did not sense any age difference, she told about her future plans, I told about my crushed in that school, but the older S was a little more reserved, a little ladylike, we however made a high five when we parted.

All my grandnieces have becomed a big-breasted, beautiful women. I also saw the one I was in love with 10 years ago. No problems there.

But code art with NFiH or others -- it is history, it is gone.
