Literatura de consum și blogurile scriitorilor

Abstract

Consumer literature, as a niche, somehow subordinated to the major genre, can no longer be ironized because those who write it, promote it or, finally, sell it are, in the last few years, more specialized. According to an opinion poll, advertising, reviews and press criticism, book layout, or a convenient price are the most important factors in determining someone to read a book. Also, blogging – a phenomenon which grew among young Romanian writers, for the last few years, can help a lot. The blog literature and Internet culture in the Romanian space have developed rather through the mimetism of the West, but the positive part is that online writing reveals authors and texts that would otherwise not have been known or would have been the victims of literary criticism.
