2024 Goldsmiths Prize speculation

What was deleted? I see the tweet was deleted. Was there a newsletter linked in the email that was also deleted?

[Mohamed]

Yes, Cusk was the only one mentioned, it was on the headline and once you click on the link it does not show anything

So presumably somebody realised pretty quickly that the email was premature - it is possible that the page the link pointed to was never made public.

Indie dominance would seem to count against Ali Smith even though Gliff is eligible (by one day). I do not think it would be a great choice anyway - I think we need to wait for Glyph to see if she is doing something really innovative.

I think that's fair G.Y. the hints suggest an interesting direction: the story told by the contents of the suitcase, the story hidden within this story. But what that'll actually mean in practice is impossible to discern.

I put together a video with some Goldsmiths predictions (well, hopes I suppose). Hadn’t included Cusk, and not 100% confident all my picks are eligible. But I think it would be an interesting list!

Thanks How to Leave the House and Mrs. Jekyll are new ones for me - both sounds good contenders

Shortlist has been announced- it’s on Twitter

Galley beggar buddies will be happy as they have a head start

I have opened a discussion thread and listed the books there. Will close this one now
