About six months after the BG Prime Minister Sergey Stanishev wrote his first book "Because We Are Socialists", eleven BG writers "struck back" with a counter book, collection of short stories, "Because We Are Not Socialists". Among them are: Georgi Mishev, Georgi Danailov, Krastio Krastev, Iordan Popov, Liuboslava Ruseva, Mihail Veshim, Iosif Perets, Gancho Savov, Georgi Gospodinov, Stefan Dobrev, and Vassil Stanilov.
