I think in our time, you know, so much of the information we get is pre-polarized. Fiction has a way of reminding us that we actually are very similar in our emotions and our neurology and our desires and our fears, so I think it's a nice way to neutralize that polarization.
我认为在我们这个时代，我们得到的很多信息都是预极化的。小说有一种方式提醒我们，我们实际上在情感、神经、欲望和恐惧方面是非常相似的，所以我认为这是一种很好的方式来消除这种两极分化。
