All literature is political.
Meaning of the quote
The quote means that the stories, books, and writing we read are not just for entertainment. They also reflect the ideas, beliefs, and values of the society and time period they were created in. The things authors write about, the characters they create, and the messages they share can all be influenced by political and social issues. Even if a story doesn't seem directly political, the way it portrays the world around us can reveal important things about the culture and politics of its time.
