I think that if you have left New York behind you, and your Romanian rent-boy lover is torn between you and his girlfriend back in Bucharest, then the chances are that however intriguing the story you want to tell, the real story is that you need to sort yourself out. Bruce - he doesn't love you; he probably doesn't even much enjoy the sex: what he likes about you is your money. Get over it, and find a real boyfriend back home!

Exceptionally uneven - some real brilliant stuff, some utterly obnoxious and angry-making stuff, some pedantry, and even a couple of places where I couldn't decide which of those three things it was... I would start with The Romanian, not here.
1ère nouvelle trèèèès drôle, les uters pas passionantes
