In writing literary fiction, you are trying to help yourself. And readers are going to literary fiction not just to be entertained, but because they feel something else will happen; that the experience will take them beyond themselves and show them something they haven't seen before.

  • -- Mohsin Hamid 莫欣·哈米德

在写文学小说时,你是在帮助自己。读者阅读文学小说不仅仅是为了娱乐,而是因为他们觉得会有别的事情发生;这种经历会让他们超越自我,向他们展示一些他们从未见过的东西。
