The fact that six of his works were banned proved counterproductive for Albania's communist regime, "because all those people who had already read them started studying them seriously to see just why they were so subversive," he also told the British daily.
Činjenica kako je šest njegovih djela bilo zabranjeno pokazala se kontraproduktivnom za albanski komunistički režim, "jer su oni ljudi koji su ih već pročitali počeli ih ozbiljnije proučavati kako bi utvrdili što je u njima toliko subverzivno", kazao je Kadare britanskom dnevniku.
