How Amazon Became America's Biggest Publisher of Translated Literature
- matt4077 11y agoThat seems like an unambiguously good development. With the low number of Americans who travel to foreign countries, external cultural influences like these can only be enriching to the culture, in the same way that immigration and African-American influences seem to have been a key component of America's cultural hegemony.

- eru 11y agoNo data. But anecdotally it's pretty high in Germany. Eg Harry Potter has been a hit just as big as in Britain, but most people read it in the German translation.
