wat
I'm not sure whether this is an English-is-not-my-first-language thing, but your question is hard to decipher. I can't figure out out, really, either.
What books are written about salon gatherings and their culture?
Repeating a question doesn't explain the question.
Thats like shouting because someone said they didn't understand your question.
K they clearly said it was likely a translation issue so yeah, no
Second, would be more helpful if people with a misunderstanding articulate the actual misunderstanding in relatable language so necessary clarifications can be made. Someone with a translation issue should maybe translate what they interpreted vs leaving it open ended so we can only spend interminably more time focusing on form and structure vs actual content
This is surely what they are referring to. It doesn't reply to your post beyond saying they don't understand it.
