In that sense, literature can, and hopefully does, bring the periphery to the center, make the invisible a bit more visible, make the unheard a bit more heard, and empathy and understanding speak louder than demagoguery and apathy.

从这个意义上说， 文学可以，而且希望确实如此， 将边缘带到中心，让看不见的东西变得更明显， 让闻所未闻的东西变得更能被听到，同理心和理解比煽动和冷漠更能说明问题。
