> literature is a western tradition
It's more about who has the most media power and influence, It's not really about the number but how accecible it is to a global market. If we take films. bollywood makes more movies than hollywood yearly, but one has the adventage of being one of the firsts to make movies, they have money and global influence to break the global market.

I mean it kind of is. The east had something similar but they never took it to the lengths that the west did. When the two worlds collided, western literature steamrolled those silly chink books.

My girlfriend was fed up with me only reading the work of white men. She asked why I didn't read more books by women and people of color. Any suggestions to show her I'm trying?

>> No.12393448

Maybe because white men are superior and you live in white country.
