Lisco's American Life

The issue of skin color is indeed a big minefield in the United States. It is not without writers who have tried to delve into the human nature of it, but they always run into minefields.

Because no one can ensure that their views are neutral enough, white writers who write this will be attacked by black people, who think that the other party's writing is one-sided and does not write about the characteristics of their own ethnic group.

If a black writer writes this, he will be attacked by white people, who think that the other person is trying to cover up his own ethnic group and that the content is just for their own entertainment.

Writers have always looked down upon others.

Therefore, since several large-scale verbal disputes occurred, both white writers and black writers have been easily labeled as racist, and no one is willing to touch this.

However, when Lisko heard about the subject matter, he was still very surprised and looked at Ian, who had a slightly green face. He did not expect that Ian, a new writer, would dare to touch this in his debut work. It is true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Writers write prefaces to each other, which is a matter of smooth flow. Seniors support juniors and write prefaces to their works. Familiar writer friends write prefaces to each other. This is a consistent rule in the industry.

The reason why everyone is trying to blame each other this time and is unwilling to help is because they are afraid of making bad comments. If the writer is attacked by someone for racial discrimination, those comments with the heart of the Holy Mother will attack the writer together regardless of whether you are helping or not.

The predecessor of the sequence.

So no one wants to suffer some right and wrong for nothing.

Instructor Lisko does not have these worries. First, because his status in the literary world is high enough. He has basically won all the top literary awards in the world. He can be said to be a rising star among writers.

Many critics joked in newspapers that the only difference between Lisko and those literary giants in history is death.

Among a group of writers who think lightly, Lisko was really shocked by being able to receive such a high evaluation.

Moreover, fans of his works cover every age group. He is truly a literary idol loved by everyone. He has so many fans that some implicated remarks simply did not dare to attack him, and were drowned in the sea of ​​people.

"this matter,"

Lisko didn't agree straight away. He was also in a dilemma at this time. If it was about other topics, he would have agreed directly without asking. It was all a trivial matter.

But when it comes to race, he can't help but be careless. Although he is not afraid of attacks from others, he doesn't like being involved in such disputes.

But Lubo was his agent and a shareholder of the company, and the relationship between the two was very close. He came to invite him personally. If he refused, it would be too unkind.

"Have you brought the manuscript? I'll take a look first."

Lisko held back his words and did not agree directly. If the content was too low-level and had ulterior motives, he would have no choice but to feel sorry for Lu Bo.

His fame has been accumulated through each of his fine books, and cannot be wasted here in vain.

"Bring it, bring it."

When Ian heard Lisko's words, he quickly took out a thick stack of bound manuscripts from the bag he carried with him.

Lisko took it, and the title of the book, "Black and White", was printed on it in conspicuous black fonts.

His eyes lit up. The name was well chosen and very suitable for the subject matter. An appropriate title can also add a lot of excitement to the book.

I took a rough look at the content. It is about a little white boy making friends with a black boy. The book describes a lot of previous conceptual conflicts between black people and white people, and also explores and studies the reasons for this difference.

The book uses a third perspective, and the description is very objective. There is no position on any side. It is like a third person calmly telling the conflicts and origins of the two neighbor children. The language is very good and can be read.

The author's writing style is excellent.

After Lisko took the manuscript, he kept flipping through it without saying anything. It wasn't until he closed the last page that he cheered loudly.

"Okay, well written."

He hadn't read such a great work for a long time. Reading it in one breath gave people a refreshing feeling. For literature lovers, a good book was like an exquisite dish, and they couldn't stop eating at all.

After hearing Lisko's comments, the two people who had been staring at him breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course, this is the genius I discovered. I think he is the next you."

"nononono, I am still far away from your husband. I may never be able to catch up with you in this life."

Lubo's teasing aroused strong opposition from Ian. He stood up directly from his chair, his expression full of fear, and waved to the two of them repeatedly.

"Ha ha ha ha."

His appearance made Lisko and Lu Bo burst into laughter. Sure enough, a rookie who has just debuted can always bring a lot of joy to people.

"It doesn't matter, I also think you have a bright future, so keep going."

Lisko suppressed his smile, patted Ian on the shoulder, and motioned for the other person to sit down and talk.

Ian seemed to understand what Lu Bo meant at this time, and knew that the two of them were joking, so he had an embarrassed look on his face, scratched his head, and sat down.

"Do you know how I found him?"

Lu Bo's face was full of pride and pride, and he asked Lisko ostentatiously.

"Picked it up?"

Lisko glanced at him,

"You're right, I really picked it up."

Rubeau patted his thigh.

"I was visiting a publishing house and while chatting with the editor, I found this book in his trash can."

Lu Bo felt very accomplished with his ability to spot this book from a pile of junk manuscripts at a glance.

Although he currently represents Lisko and Haas, two twin stars in the literary world, even Lisko has achieved higher results.

But it is true that he has no sense of achievement at all. Lisko is because of his extraordinary talent. He has been very famous in the literary world since high school, and his mentor is a big shot. Rather than being an agent, it is better to say that Lisko chose him.

He didn't have much control over him at all. Lu Bo felt that he was more like a tool. He only needed to negotiate the royalties, contact the film and television companies who came to the door automatically, and various copyright agencies.

When Haas was represented by him, he was also No. 1 in romance novels, and his transformation was also very successful.

He wants to discover new talents from humble beginnings, and then, with his own help, step by step become a successful writer. This feeling of cultivation makes him feel that his abilities are great, and it also allows him to recognize himself more.

What's more important is to fight back against those colleagues who say that they just got lucky, signed with Lisko, and had no worries about food and clothing.

He has also done a lot, and the company has signed many new writers, but his achievements have hovered between second and third rate.
