This being went a bit further from just a blockbuster novel or something else?

I don't think we should settle for 'At least SOMEONE'S paying attention to this culture be grateful' that gets twisted into 'are you trying to shut everybody off from each other?' when we could be 'Here are five popular books about something specific to a small part of a certain country and culture; two by people the actual subculture, two by people from the mainstream of that culture, and one from outside of it'.
