So far, this has been a fascinating read. And while many of these discussions of culture are essential for writers, I wonder what difference it will make for those of us hoping to publish. I can break all the Western, colonialist rules of craft I want, but if it ruins my chances of being published in a Western market, I'm only hurting myself.

That’s quite a take.
