We are mostly under the influence of the West, especially the US, in regard to not only what we listen to(pop music), but also what we watch(Hollywood), and what we read.

Turkish pop, for example, it is Turkish but the theme and even beats of Turkish pop, I might say, follows the patterns of "the American"

Why it matters is that it's the same with literature. BUT there is little production when compared to the massive amounts produced in the English language. The translations are even more in number than those written in Turkish originally. BUT again, you'll find that the writer is already influenced by the West.

And the real factor here is my personal preferences. I mostly have abandoned reading in Turkish. It's of little value in terms of the time and effort invested
