Sad story, the whole thing.

I know, I'm sorry. Maybe treat yourself to some books?

Thanks Gabriel, I appreciate it. And congratulations to you on Poor Ghost, which I've heard such good things about, and I'm looking forward to reading.

Ok. Still don't really understand what it means. But presumably the process will not involve using ai to make calls about the ai-ness of texts, which would rather defeat the purpose. Interested to see how it develops.

This is very positive, very good to see. Congrats Sam! But I do have to ask - what is "technology-led text analysis"? Would human-led, technology-assisted text analysis not be better?

Alice Zoo was part of Writing Fiction last year. Great to see that her story Little Venice is one of 12 shortlisted for the Brick Lane Bookshop Prize 2025. All the stories will be published together in October I believe.

Alice is also a very fine photographer.

It's many years since I've read him. Of mostly historical sociological interest now I think, but sure aren't we all.

And I met you.
