The current consumers of literature aren't all that interested in the historical division and situation. I don't expect a flurry of literary works to come out as a result of these developments. The younger generation doesn't seem terribly concerned or at least, regard literature as something that explores meaning and value in life. Students in general aren't interested these days in poetry and novels, but they are more interested in scriptwriting and plays. I have a great difficulty making my students see the power of literature to explore meaning in life.
Most writers begin with the short story.
I trained myself to write the short story. I'm most at home with writing short stories. When I don't write a short story for a long time, I miss the feeling of writing one. Each story is independent, but there is a coherent theme that connects all the stories. I'm thinking of entitling it, Place and Time.
