Send your letter to the London Review of Books. They'd publish it.
The Brits are a unique literary form in themselve. Just glance at the
personal ads in the London Review of Books.
Here's a sample:
It came to him in a cocaine rush as he took the Langley exit that if Aldrich
had told Filipov about Hancock only Tulfgengian could have known that the
photograph which Wagner had shown to Maximov on the jolting S-Bahn was not
the photograph of Kessler that Bradford had found in the dark, sinister
house in the Schillerstrasse the day that Straub told Percival that the man
on the bridge had not been Aksakov but Pavtovsky, which meant that it was
not Kleist but Krueger that Cherensky had met in the bleak, wintry
Gruenewald and that, therefore, only Frau Epp could have known that Muller
had followed Droysen to the steamy aromatic cafZ in the Beethovenstrasse
where he told Buerger that Todorov had known since the Liebermann affair
that McIntyre had not met Stoltz at the Goerlitzer Bahnhof but instead had
met Sommer in the cavernous Anhalter Bahnnof. Itch been eyn Berleener (gay
MA ex-pat M, forties) at box no. 06/13.
