- Zadie Smith, author of the previous winners, On Beauty and White Teeth has a new read out about a group of Londoners in their mid-30s, NW (referring to her home postcode). The book has had some mixed reviews with some great ones: "It is joyous, optimistic, angry masterpiece, and no better English novel will be published this year, or, probably, next," said Philip Hensher in The Daily Telegraph. Can't wait to try it
- Previously, authors would thank and credit one/various muse(s) for their inspiration. It's now become the in-thing for authors to thank an online app for their success. According to The Week, "online tools that block users from looking at certain websites or limit their access are becoming all the rage among writers." Two apps: Freedom and SelfControl were acknowledged by Ms Smith for "creating the time"to write her latest novel. Sign of the times
