what is your take in literature?

Question

with regards to your own culture?

Answer 1

it's part and parcel of popular culture

Answer 2

Classical literature seemed to find its expression WITH the changing times, the changing attitudes and trends of the country. Todays literature, however, seems different. It seems to want to hit you right in the face with situations, ideas, that are designed to ignite emotions, and sway general opinion.
Its only my way of seeing it, but literature today seems less an expression of the author, the culture, the society, than a preconceived movie script for Hollywood to turn into the next box office smash......

Answer 3
