Lisko’s American Life

But it is also because of the in-depth reading process that these literary critics discovered some private goods that Lisko deliberately mixed in the writing process. It was only a literary critic who discovered it. It's just that I may think too extreme, or the author himself does not have this intention, but because of his own answers and extensions, this work is somewhat contaminated with this kind of atmosphere.

But after all the literary critics got together, the main reason for the original gathering was to complete their own promotional manuscripts by sharing and reading and communicating with each other, and at the same time submitting them to Random House as part of the publicity plan.

But when they exchanged their feelings with each other in the process of chatting, they will find out independently that almost everyone has the same feeling in the process of reading, and even this matter itself has not done anything too much. Too much cover-up.

Originally, the author's own opinion would not have any influence on their literary critics, but considering that they accepted the employment of Random House, they also reported this issue to the past after statistics. It was different in the past. Although to some extent everyone advocated the concepts of freedom of speech and writing, some topics still need to be avoided as much as possible, so as not to arouse the fragile hearts of certain races.

Before writing this book, Lisko had already expected it, because the original book also caused a great sensation in his previous life, and to a certain extent, even though he adapted an immortal film engraved in the history of the development of the world's film industry. The famous Gone with the Wind, but there is no possibility of any adaptation and remake after that.

The main reason is that this book seems to reflect the current state of American society to a certain extent, that is, the theory of Black Lives Matter that is widely debated in the current society.

You must know that even if the entire United States has been promoting itself, the country is relatively democratic and free, but to a certain extent, the country itself is full of contradictions and ridiculousness. Racial discrimination is a pustule on the face of the United States, either White life is expensive, or black life is expensive, and all other races have to stand aside. A country that does not have any equality at all, but always promotes and admires the spirit of freedom and equality.

In fact, strictly speaking, this work itself does not have much discrimination against black people, and the protagonist of this book himself evaluates this matter from a fair and just standpoint. And the words spoken by the protagonist Scarlett are indeed such social facts. People like hardworking and kind-hearted groups. At the same time, these people also need to have some education, and this favorite group is not limited to you. Is it a white person or a black person.

This itself is also a situation formed because of the social situation. Because white people are more likely to receive some relatively good education, and black people may also have some existences with better self-cultivation, but people will not focus on these groups of people. Through newspapers and all sources of information, they can always see Seeing the headline news of those black people who gathered to make trouble, so I couldn't help forming some stereotyped impressions.

Originally, if this work was placed in another era, it might not make people so vulnerable and passive. Even the entire group of literary critics themselves are blacks composed of whites and yellows. It is almost a person who does not know Is it a deliberate reason or the composition of the profession itself.

Perhaps you have suffered too much persecution and attacks on this issue, so they have taken a particularly cautious attitude on this issue, and even feared and avoided it very much.

And when this issue was handed over to Random House, the people in charge of these publishing houses also felt a little tricky for a while. To be honest, their perception of the black group itself was not very good, but this society is In this way, no matter what you think in your heart, or what your own views are, you cannot express them in public, let alone express your thoughts through your works.

Because if a work is really circulated in this way, it will cause too much influence, and it will cause unanimous attacks from all black groups, making a seemingly ordinary small matter once again lead to a big discussion on discrimination in the whole society.

If the topic is changed to something else, Random House is naturally happy to see it succeed. After all, only the greater the degree of topicality, the greater the influence of this work, and at the same time, it can save some publicity costs , directly through the dissemination of these events, and officially stepped into everyone's eyes.

This is also the best form of publicity.

However, when it comes to issues of racial discrimination, people cannot be careless. Although Random House felt very sorry, it still transferred the manuscript back to Lisko. This behavior is naturally not a rejection, and I believe that in this world There is no way for any publishing house in the world to reject Lisko’s submission. I just want to discuss a better solution with this world-renowned writer, and see if I can modify the manuscript as much as possible to avoid this aspect. .

After Lisko received the feedback from the publishing house, he was a little helpless for a while. To be honest, because of his own blood, he didn't like black people so much. Of course, this kind of opinion was concentrated in this group. He also hired some black cowboys from his own ranch, and Weiss himself is also an old retainer of his family, so he doesn't have much discrimination or other views on Weiss.

But Qian is what he knows and knows well, and everything makes it difficult for him to bring up some fondness for this race. When he wrote this story, he also thought about whether he should modify it. , but in the end I still wrote it truthfully with a fluke mentality.

Expressing one's true cognition and three views through works is what a writer particularly likes to do, and many writers are willing to mix some of their own opinions and private goods in their works.

However, it is true that the impact of the racial discrimination incident is too bad. Even if the publishing house is full of confidence in Lisko's works, it is afraid of the subsequent fermentation and subsequent impact of such incidents.

This is exactly the problem that Lisko is stuck in. While he is struggling with whether he should revise the manuscript, on the other hand, he is afraid that the quality of the work will not reach the original height after he revises it.
