2022 Goldsmiths Prize speculation

[Gumble's Yard - Golden Reviewer]

Paul said the audience is about 40 (of 200 tickets issued) so seems a bit daft they did not just do it on Zoom especially when the person being interviewed is clearly concerned at infection risk and wearing what looks like a FFP mask

They are having enough trouble making the microphones here work which is the point I’ve made before. Setting something up for online broadcast isn’t straightforward.

I can claim credit for one of those I feel having urged a judge face to face to read it and then swapped a few messages on it.

I have read 4 of them and can also claim my record each year of completely forgetting to mention a book that is then picked.

[David]

I’ve also read 4 and really looking forward to the others.
