Show notes

This podcast is a presentation of The Meow Library. Twitter user Nabeel S. Qureshi was quick to identify the winner of the 2026 Harper's Bazaar Short Story Competition, Back and Forth, ostensibly by "Kavyata Kay," as largely, if not entirely, AI-generated. The panel of Bazaar judges, which included novelist Ruth Ozeki, are not so quick to cast aspersions, denying, as of this writing, any knowledge of AI involvement. The Meow Library team was unable to get past the story's first line, which is "The tree knew before she did - and it waited." For the crime of bringing such writing into public view, we sentence the literary establishment to listen to us meow without interruption for over 20 minutes. This podcast is sustained by sales of the award-winning Meow: A Novel.
