Nowadays, the call for literature and art to contribute to the construction of the soul, to the renewal of the morality of modern man is increasingly insistent, overly insistent. They must participate in the great and complex battle for the destruction of some - obsolete - moral values ​​and the establishment of others - new and necessary. Artists, musicians and poets need to be involved in the grandiose task of life in our rapidly developing century: the re-education of the individual personality. They must enrich it with ethics, which is drawn from the leading positions of life. But from art, in addition to sinking into the depths of human soul and its renewal, something else is required. It must become a free and unforced source of joy and inspiration" (Program of the CPSU). It must ennoble with its most immediate ideological, ethical and aesthetic impact. These requirements, sounded categorically, oblige us to look more closely at the complex, unified essence of artistic creativity. It is necessary to embrace it comprehensively, rejecting those ossified, didactically theses concepts that until recently did not allow art to educate and entertain, to provide pleasure, to be a bright source of human joy. The need for a more complete and more penetrating interpretation of art forces us again and again to return to the principled essence of a basic aesthetic concept, sometimes neglected: the artistic method.

All Marxist critics and writers are for both tradition and innovation in their dialectical unity, without which literary development is unthinkable. Differences and disputes arise in the interpretations of this unity and especially in the assessment of the traditional and the innovative in authors and works. This is natural, because here theoretical and literary culture, depth of thought, artistic flair, etc. have their say.

With "Two in the New Town" Kamen Kalchev enters the spiritual world of the ordinary person, reaches psychological generalizations, subordinated to a broad ideological concept. K. Kalchev proves that he is a writer with a wide range of creative interests, that he discovers something more in the thoughts and feelings of people of our time, presents the drama of the person from our society. His hero is placed in a contemporary setting, and this already determines his behavior, revealed in the aspect of social development. There is nothing tragic if the hero experiences his drama, the main thing is in the name of what he does this, what he is guided by. And Marin Maslarski is guided by humane feelings, by the thought of being useful, of being a person above all.
