"作家の責任は、彼を生み出した人々の経験を掘り起こすことです。"
— James Baldwin
Simplified Meaning:
Writers need to explore and share the stories of the communities and cultures they come from. Like an archaeologist digging up treasures from the past, a writer uncovers and tells about the lives, experiences, and histories of the people who influenced them. For example, if a writer grew up in a small village, they might share stories about the traditions, struggles, and joys of village life. This helps others understand and appreciate that culture. By doing this, the writer keeps their community's memories alive and honors their roots. People reading these stories can learn valuable lessons and gain a deeper understanding of different ways of life.
