Quote by Alexander McCall Smith
But you cannot expect every writer to dwell on human suffering. I think my books do deal with grave issues. People who say they are too positive probably haven't read them.
Summary
This quote highlights the misconception that all writers should primarily focus on depicting human suffering. The author argues that their books do indeed tackle serious subjects, but readers who label them as excessively positive may not have actually engaged with their work. The quote suggests that it is unfair and unreasonable to expect every writer to constantly explore themes of tragedy or hardship, as there is room for a diverse range of topics and perspectives in literature.
