Is one of the winners of the Commonwealth AI-generated? The story's prose struck me as very odd and Pangram indicates it's 100% AI-generated. I contacted Granta/Commonwealth to see what they say. Stay tuned.

I was E-in-C of this journal in the one year this guy wasn't in charge. Long story about him and the other guy buying and selling the journal back to each other. Glad I got out before this nonsense.

The latest takedown of Ocean Vuong seems to be part of pattern of UK critics absolutely ripping his prose apart while US critics lap it up. I'm on Team UK on this one: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
