In 1926, Italian Futurist Tommaso Marinetti received the radical Manifesto of the Fellowship Fighting against Poets. It was sent by Bulgarian avant-gardist Kiril Krastev, whose literary circle, Crescendo, was putting into question the normative dichotomy between Young and Old, modernists and traditionalists, constitutive of Bulgarian literature. In every national literature or Weltliteratur, there are anomalies, malfunctions, and exclusions. This essay analyses a particular anomaly – the Crescendo literary circle and its (im)possible existence. We define distext as something that does not belong to a particular context or that breaks with(in) the cultural conditions of possible or actual emergence. Our analysis raises several theoretical and historical questions: how radical is the manifesto in relation to the Western European avant-garde; does it have any influence outside its local distextual context; what is its connection to Dada movement; and most importantly, what does this anomaly say about the history of Bulgarian literature and its peripheries?

Allow me to quote these unusual – or should I say genial – words of Constantine the Great dated to 313 AD: “No one should be forced to observe religion… Let everyone follow the religion he chooses… Everyone may freely believe in what his heart wants… One who is convinced to be in the right path of faith should not mistreat others. At worst, he should only help others. If he does not want that, let him leave them be. Let everyone try to save his soul as his soul desires, it should not be forced onto him. I wish that my people live peacefully and be serene; this is the common good of all people and the entire Empire. Let those who mistake, same as those who have faith, feel joyfully the benefit of the peace and serenity. Namely, that graceful peace in society may bring those who mistake back to the right path. Let no one mistreat others and let everyone have what his heart wants, and let them revere what they believe.
