Great stuff! I know almost nothing about classical music. But you write about what you know, do it well and make it accessible. I like the premise - an impossible college where joyful same sex attraction is norm. Yet, there would have to be some serious structure, enforced in some acceptable way, to avoid drama, cruelty and exclusion. I'm interested in how you handle this...
This is going to be a great read. I love the way you have eased James into the house and had Marcus give it some history and background. But I am sure that all of the history has been revealed yet. And James picked up on the almost all male vibe upon arrival before heading up to the Apollo House. And he seems to be adjusting as well as an American can with the "freeness" of the house. Clothes and closeness of bodies that are missing in the American culture. Sadly.
Looking forward to Theo and James's practice session before the Friday night activities.
You can smell the history in Apollo House, the people who have been and gone, and left their traces - old institutions that have shaped men, and countries. Kabir, you are excellent in your presentation, again. I was fortunate to do this in reverse, from old English institution to Ivy League university. And I was popular … with both sexes.

Thanks for your comment:)
There is going to be lots of conflict between Apollo House and the wider university community. Things get a lot more complicated :)
Complicated, when necessary, is what I like best!

This is going to be a very hot story. And there’s lots of conflict between Apollo House and the larger university community.

Kabir, your stories don't just grow but they haunt in the best way possible! Looking forward to this one.. 😍🤌❤️
