I do not think that Albanian literature is important in the lives of Albanians today.

I believe this is the moment when we, as cultural workers, need to listen and understand, to be ready to offer this new audience what it needs: answers to the concerns of their generation.
What we call a “crisis” can be understood as the end of a particular era of textual culture, rather than as a failure of the modern reader.
