    الشيء الأول والأهم على الإطلاق ، على الأقل بالنسبة للكُتَّاب اليوم ، هو تجريد اللغة من النظافة ، وجعلها مكشوفة حتى العظم.

    Первая и самая важная вещь, по крайней мере, для современных авторов, - это очистить язык от грязи, обнажить его до костей.

    det första och viktigaste av allt, åtminstone för författare idag, är att rensa språket rent, lägga det nakna till benet.

    最重要的事情,至少对于今天的作家来说,是将语言剥离干净,将其裸露到骨头上。
