“A story must abstract from life to discover its essences, but not become an abstraction that loses all sense of life-as-lived.”
Excerpt From: Robert McKee. “Story.” iBooks.
I understand the meaning of first part is (abstract = extract), but don't quite get the meaning of the second part what the author means by "[Story must] not become an abstraction".
Can anyone please clarify this? Thanks.
