On some phenomena in fiction

In the movement of Bulgarian literature there are a number of inconsistencies, a number of paradoxes, which are caused by the lateness and backwardness of our life due to the five-century yoke. In a short time, without the necessary experience and preparation, we had to catch up with what was missed, to catch up with the new in thought and in contemporary ideas, to participate in the world cultural process with our national contribution. In this haste, in the impatience to keep up with the new, to not remain provincials, a number of our writers of the past thoughtlessly put on foreign costumes, made the Bulgarians get out of their skin, to rave uncharacteristically, to repeat ready-made thoughts. In our country, some currents of European thought have taken too caricatured forms, have borne the unripe fruits of superficial imitation. These questions have found a proper formulation in G. Tsanev's report, which contains Some new clarifications about individual movements and authors in the development of our literature.
