Читать книгу Come On In! - Charles Bukowski - Страница 22

dear sir:

thank you for your manuscript

but this is to inform you

that I have no special influence

with any editor or publisher

and if I did

I would never dream of telling

them who or what

to publish.

I myself have never mailed any

of my work to anybody but

an editor or a publisher.

despite the fact that

my own work

was rejected for

decades,

I still never considered

mailing my work to

another writer

hoping that this other

writer might help me

get published.

and although I have

read some of what you

have mailed me

I return the work without

comment

except to ask

how did you get my

address?

and the effrontery

to mail me such

obvious

crap?

if you think me unkind,

fine.

and thank you for telling

me that I am a

great writer.

now you will have a

chance to re-evaluate

that opinion

and to choose another

victim.
