艾丽芙·夏法克：小说的政治

听故事拓展了想象力；讲故事则让我们跨越文化的高墙，拥抱各种不同的经历，感受他人的感受。艾丽芙·夏法克以这个简单的想法为基础，来说明小说能超越身份政治。

Fiction opens hearts and minds, allowing people to cross cultural and personal boundaries that identity politics often reinforces. From an introverted child in Ankara to a writer navigating multiple languages and expectations, the speaker shows how stories connect us in ways labels and stereotypes cannot. When an earthquake forced a conservative grocer and a transvestite to share a cigarette, for a moment, all differences faded. Stories, like circles, expand our empathy and imagination, letting us glimpse lives beyond our own.
