The popularity of something has nothing to do with its quality.
More than that, if you’re indeed going by the MC Donalds way of measuring things, you’re bound to be much more interested in:
> “Today Finland’s literary exports have tripled in size...”
Than how many people steal your books. Popularity that you can not turn into profit is completely useless in any professional sort of way.
- FredPret 6y ago“Quality” in this context simply means popularity - among literary critics. There’s no objective standard of measurement for literature. Popular books aren’t better or worse than “good” books, they’re a different product. Could Michael Crichton have won the Nobel prize? Or could the Nobel prizewinner for literature write - and sell - a massive hit like Jurassic Park?
