  • Summary

  • In recent years, several literary pundits have declared the long-form novel dead or at least obsolete. In this episode, we discuss the current fate of the contemporary novel and whether its demise is forthcoming or if it's simply tired conjecture that we've all heard before. We also delve into if AI will be writing long-form genre fiction (hint: it will) and if readers will even care.
