Today we have only one text but I think you will like it.
1. Michael Zoschenko
An editor-in-chief of a well-known literary journal sat at the table in his office with a morning cup of a daily restorative coffee when suddenly opened a door, a visitor came into the room with obsequious smile and handed braggartly to editor a typescript by his name.
An acuity polemical flared up among members of an editorial board about a real writer"s name.
An editor-in-chief epitomized his standpoint and due to his broad-minded outlook the plagiarist's plans were thwarted and debunked a myth of a hidebound impostor about his authorship.
After languishing in obscurity for many years Michael Zoschenko's early novels have been rediscovered thanks to that a painful incident.
