what in the world does this mean

Do you just want a simple translation into words with fewer syllables?
Removing all the details from a story that aren't completely necessary is the way to create uncertainty in a story. The reader has to use their imagination to replace the detail you've removed. Uncertainty in a story - where it could mean any one of several things, depending on how you imagine the details - is the key to the meaning of a story.
That's what I got from it, anyway, but it reads like it's been put through a bad translation engine. It doesn't really make much sense at all.
It means the author really likes his thesaurus. That could have been MUCH clearer. I got a headache from just reading that.
I think it is saying that in writing a story, you need to remove any information that is not directly relevant to the point of the story (the extraneous details). Then it is suggesting to also remove one non-extraneous bit - that is, one piece of information which is important to the point of the story. That leaves some ambiguity (or uncertainty) in the story and that bit then has to be filled in by the reader's imagination. It is this ambiguity which draws people in. The fact that the reader has to contribute something from his own imagination provides a pull for the story. It creates an interaction between the writer and the reader and this interaction is "integral to literary expression." It allows the reader to find their own meaning. It is the way the "fictional text mean what they mean."
Hope that makes some sense.
It means leave the readers wondering to keep them interested.
In a nutshell, it means read between the lines of the story.
Overall, when reading pay close attention to what is being said and dont worry about all the extra wording such as all the adjectives and descriptive metaphors, etc.. so this information is what the reader is thinking about (the importan info). Ambiguity is the unclear stuff added to writings such as th detail descriptions that are painting a picture for the reader.
Basically, the quote is ambiguous itself. Its kind of irony because it contains the things that they tell you not to pay attention to and read.
I hope this helps and I hope I explained it good enough.
