REQUIRED WORDS

Literary surveys make sense when they are conducted with valuable literary creators who have significant works for their national literature and a reserved place in our literary classics or our literary history. They must also have a rich and interesting creative life and biography to share important thoughts and stories, and to tell them meaningfully and movingly. Such is undoubtedly Georgi Mishev.

LITERATURE SURVEY WITH GEORGI MISHEV

– Mr. Mishev, let’s start the survey unconventionally, with the question: can you tell how you became a writer?

– I can! As funny as it sounds – because it really is. I was nine or ten years old when the “bright date” came, the ninth of September 44. A new teacher arrived from the city and founded a group of the children’s organization “September” – the cheerful change of communist power. Everyone wanted to be a standard bearer, to beat a drum, to carry at least the red cross bag. No one wanted to be a correspondent, the last job in the state. The reason: it should be written outside of homework. I was last in line, because of my small stature and not particularly attractive appearance. “You will be a correspondent!” Zdravka told me. “And don’t object to me, because this is a party order!” Fix your strap and let me give you a notebook. You will write clearly so as not to torment the editors. Get in line!”

That’s how I was appointed as a correspondent for the capital newspaper “Septemvriyche”. I was writing about Yoglav’s squad: they helped grandfather Stoyan pick the mamuls (corn on the cob); collected scrap iron for village electrification; did a work day for planting acacias in the Shumata area… Correspondent: Gosho Mishev.

I bring the report to the squad, I put commas here and there, but the comrade is not very aware of the punctuation marks, she accepts what I wrote and sends it to Sofia… She corrects my name: “For us you can be Gosho, but for the people you must be Georgi, like Comrade Dimitrov!”

If the first anniversaries of the newspaper are kept (chief editors Asen Bosev and Petar Stupov) here and there you will also meet my name. As in the newspaper “Vazdrazhetelche”: the appetite comes with writing… At one time, the newspaper “Stamboliyche” of the agricultural union appeared, but while I was sending a note, I found out that they had hanged Nikola Petkov – I almost became a renegade. For a long time I thought that renegade was spelled with an “e” at the end, because I heard the village communists call anyone who was not of their party a “bastard”. Then puberty came for me, I learned the word “testosterone” from books, and from scribbling in the notebook “testosterone” appeared
