Skarp kulturanalys från pressagentur.

Pressagenturs råd till engelska författare som vill slå igenom på den amerikanska marknaden:

Just a Little Friendly Advice. If you want to be a successful writer for American Publications, for which high price are paid for really firstclass matter, bear in mind that American fiction, in the main, is not pessimistic nor is it lewd or irreverent, neither is it red nor un-american. Avoid morbidity. The Americans don´t want gloom, but something that will brighten life. The sun must always be shining. Treat sex reverently, and avoid its unsavoury aspects. Don´t be vulgar. Remember that serious thought is not looked for in the majority of American magazines… Leave social and political problems to take care of themselves. Remember that America is a young and prosperous country, and there is nothing on God’s earth to equal it.
