The truth is, everything ultimately comes down to the relationship between the reader and the writer and the characters. Does or does not a character address moral being in a universal and important way? If it does, then it's literature.

  • -- Whitley Strieber 惠特利·斯特里伯

事实上,一切最终都归结于读者、作者和角色之间的关系。一个角色是否以一种普遍而重要的方式处理道德存在?如果是,那就是文学。
