Well, M______'s life is a changing. I hope the culture shock is not too much for Him (her?).
Nice start to the story.

Fascinating and sensuous
This is a fascinating and sensuous yarn and I would like to learn what happens next.
You have a good feel for pacing and tension. Please continue.

It's a girls' world; we just let boys live in it.

An object lesson in the art of service, when M______ realises it; the ultimate in method acting. Fascinating and intriguing,

These words John used to describe the world of Jean Genet also seem to apply just as well to this story. It's as exquisitely crafted tale that quickly drew me in, until I felt as if I was experiencing everything that was happening to the main character. I just hope John really is someone to be trusted. I'd feel so disappointed if he turned out to be some monstrous, nasty person.
I became curious about the play that's become (at least so far) an important part of this story, and have started looking for more information on it and it's author. It sounds like Jean Genet had a pretty rough start to his life. From what I've been able to gather from a study guide for the play, he also seems to have had some radical ideas about gender roles. I hope I can find an actual copy of the play soon.
After reading the study guide, one particular question keeps surfacing. Will there be a Claire in this story at some point, to compliment the main character's role of Solange?
It will cost you, but not too much

It's apparently still in copyright, so you aren't likely to find it for less, unless it is in a used book store.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Refreshingly different.
This fascinates me. Probably because it's full of possibilities and none of them are flagged. Denying the main protagonist a name adds to the fascination as does the curious role playing. We don't even know who, or what John is. Lovely stuff.

Very interesting
I have no idea how this story will play out, but I'm waiting to find out.

It’s not given to anyone to have no regrets; only to decide, through the choices we make, which regrets we’ll have,

This is different, at least from anything I've read before, but I like it.
It had a dark, surreal feel to it that left me ... wanting. I need to see this continued. I need to fill the haunting void created by this unfinished work. Please continue.
Thanks very much.
