Debiutant
Wysyłam powieść do wybranych (nieznanych mi) osób w krajach anglojęzycznych - przede wszystkim do filozofów, teologów oraz religioznawców.
Oto pierwsze, spontaniczne reakcje za granicą na moją powieść (usunąłem dane osobowe, ponieważ cytuję fragmenty prywatnej korespondencji):
(profesor religioznawstwa, full professor, USA):
"Dear Marcin,
This looks very interesting. Thanks you."
Po ok. 20 min. kolejna wiadomość od tej osoby:
Dear Marcin,
I am already hooked! I will keep reading on and off and get back to you.
Would you allow me to send it to a grad student who I think would enjoy it?"
Następnego dnia kolejny mail:
"I am on page 59 and enjoying your book very much!"
(Profesor teologii, USA):
"Thank you for sending your book to me, Dr. Dolecki. I rarely have time for fiction these days, but I glanced at the prologue of your book and was instantly drawn in. It seems fascinating. I hope to be able to read it,
eventually. You appear to write very well! (Congratulations to your
translator, too, of course)."
(profesor teologii, associate professor, USA):
"Dear Marcin.
Thanks for the copy of the book.
I'm pleased you include Shankara, giving the philosophy of religion a
broader scope than it usually has. I'm not sure if Richard Dawkins
merits a mention, as a philosopher. But then again lots of people read
him, so I guess he needs to be represented.
In any case, I shall read the work with interest."

Najbardziej obawiam się reakcji ewentualnych hinduskich czytelników.
