A dispute over this year’s Pulitzer Selection Fiction
I just want to start by saying that I am celebrating Pulitzer of Persival Everett at Fiction Win for James. IT’s Rare That Everyone Invested in the Outcome of An Award Will Be Happy With The Result, and So It Is For This Award for Reasons of A Rare But to Unpreten Prozedural Plast Pulitzer Committee’s Board Failed to Reach a Consensus on the Three Finalists That The Fiction Jury Initially Presented, ”Alexandra Alter Reported For The New York TimesS Voting went to consideration of the fourth option to send a jury, JamesInstead of skipping the fiction award all this year. Alter Noted The Discontent Around This Decision, Special Because The Original Three Finalists Were All Women, But Mice 1961 Author Stacey Levine’s Question ARRESDER NIVEHER, WHEN DIEND is the time to “fuss” About the Selection of James Resonated with me (I am “no” to this one if it is not clear). I hope Levine and the other finalists will receive piles of positive attention – their books sound fresh and compelling.

For that romance “Fyre Fest of Book Festivals”
This quote is from the author Kait Disney-Lugers, one of the participants in Million Lives, who took at Tiktok to unpack the event, advertised as a gathering, including “Seller Hall, Panel, Room, Fandom Cosplay Meet UPS, Cross and Ball competition.” If you have guessed the topic that tea is not about how great the event is, you have guessed correctly. Numerous authors who have appeared have reported a scarce presence, contrary to turnout, which are said to have been promised. Of course, visiting is important for the quality of every event, but especially for authors who apply for table signs in the hope of selling books. You really need to see Tiktoks (many of which have passed viral) to find out the gloomy: the sad conference mass, mostly empty hall, washing the corporate gray. The many legal marketing conferences I attended in my previous career seem glamorous to compare. The participants paid $ 50 to $ 250 a ticket, and the author Persians Jay said she flew to Maryland from Texas to attend and plan many big life events around participation. Whoof. What a mess. You can read about this and find some of the videos in CutS

Florida bookstore removes LGBTQ+ titles
Let us travel with the eye to Embambia County to the heart of a battle for banning books and censorship, as well as to the Inde-Broader, which is said to be fighting a bizaro-world version of this battle, which is to say that it is prohibited in the ban of the book, not fighting it. Current Bodacious and Café bookstores and cafes, described for Dakota Parks in NBC News, how they are aimed at removing strange books from shelves and how some employees resign in protest. Employees said this move was catalyzed by a complaint about the uncensure of a greeting card that prompted a kind of audit of material, but Ezkbiya County is also home to the school neighborhood, which has drawn 1,600 book titles from the shelves and is in the midst of federal litigation. Former employees named Pageboy on Elliot Page and Heart Sturtopper of Alice Osman among the many titles removed from the shelves. While a spokesman for the owners of the bookstore denied that the books were removed based on the LGBTQ+ theme and were trying to question the accounts of the employees, the bills said there were quite damn. We hate to see him.
