  1. News Summary: Commonwealth Short Story Prize Winner Accused of Using AI; Judges Face Impossible Dilemma

    This week I feel we reached the peak "oh good grief, what now?" moment of the AI scandal hypercycle. And to be honest, I am genuinely not sure whether the whole thing feels more Woodward and Bernstein or Arthur Miller.

Nazir's story, "The Serpent in the Grove," was straightaway called out by several highly qualified people for being AI-generated.

I became interested in #ChineseLiterature some time ago, but up till now I’ve only read some classics and Chinese speculative fiction & fantasy, so I found this #podcast on contemporary Chinese #literaryFiction interesting & helpful to get an idea about the field. There‘s some free to read short stories on the #Granta website: granta.com/products/granta-169 .

  11. Granta publishes its Best British Young Novelists list bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-a

    Each decade this list highlights interesting new talent; past lists included Pat Barker, Salman Rushdie & Iain Banks to name but three. I was lucky enough to chair an author from the 2013 list at the Edinburgh Book Fest, it's a great boost to writer's profiles
