Frustration II

. . .Spent a while on that translation. Just to find that the ending is quite scandalous! In a Joseph-Tam-cannot-endorse sort of way. Her actions are simply without morals and I'm just simply shocked at how somebody could write something like that and call it a short story.
. . .Now, I realize that I hail from a time when there was such a thing as "polite society" and "polite reading", but is it necessary to load a story with promiscuity to assure sales? Authors just simply don't try the same way they used to. Grr... Meanwhile, I've now gotta choose between two of the other short stories. One's 7 pages and the other's 11 pages, but these are large pages... probably equal to double that number in normal paperback novel size.
