TRANSLATION:
>understanding and appreciating my culture is useless

...or maybe you have this view because it's NOT your culture?
Can still understand and appreciate other cultures, you know.

Fiction has become political in ways I had not thought it would within my lifetime. New "translations" of Homer try to change the way we think about the Greeks. People get cancelled left and right. All best-sellers are political. A book about Hilary Clinton called "Rodham" changes her past so that she would have never married and thus won the election (as if it was his fault not hers). Publishers on Twitter sound like they are being held hostage. I'd hate to see what's next.
