Bicycle kiss
Spas Hristov
The work before you was sent to and judged by BNT’s television show The Manuscript. I wrote this for the show and I’m satisfied with my participation. A look at the cover should be enough to make the connection obvious. When the 72 participants were narrowed down to 24, I didn’t make the cut. Personally, I cannot kick the text even one notch higher. I realize that it needs an editor, correctors and a number of other diligent workers to slave over it before it becomes a product ready for sale. With the help of that whole army of repairers it will attract less critique over stylistic and grammatical errors. BUT! For me, the AUTHOR is at the heart of everything. And no author can be expected to plant the cotton, weave the cloth, take the measurements, sew the clothing and then embrace all that critique over a crooked button. The client has the right to ask for a perfect product. Every stylist/writer in their right mind hires other people to do their dirty work. I present the text to you just as it was written for the show. I talked to my editor and he said: “Look, this isn’t THE NOVEL, it’s THE MANUSCRIPT. If you are getting it published, I might join in.” For now, I present it to your critical eye the way it was created, in its raw, original form.
