"ما الذي يمكن أن يكون قذراً جداً، منحطاً جداً، محبطاً جداً لدرجة أنه لا يمكن قراءته أو التحدث عنه؟ إذا كانت الأدب لا تستطيع التعامل مع الجوانب القذرة للحياة، فما هو الغاية منها؟"
— Ian McEwan

Simplified Meaning:
Some topics are unpleasant, difficult, or sad, but they are still important to talk about and understand. Literature, or writing and books, should cover not only the happy and beautiful parts of life but also the tough and ugly parts. This helps people see and understand the full picture of life, including the bad times. For example, books about people living in harsh conditions can make us aware of their struggles and maybe inspire us to help. Just like a doctor needs to know about all diseases to treat patients, writers need to explore all aspects of life to tell meaningful stories. By reading about these tough subjects, people can learn, grow, and sometimes find ways to make the world better.
