However, today I feel content that I accepted your invitation,” Kadare conveyed at the outset of the meeting. He underscored that each writer embarks on their distinct journey. “Our lives unfold in this manner, infused with the elation of recognition and affection. I encourage you to feel at liberty to ask questions, as every query brings me joy and is pleasing to hear. In these encounters, something flourishes in your consciousness.
