The slide into mediocrity of contemporary fiction continues. This book is conventionally, unexceptionally written. The standard of literary craft is fair to middling at best. The Waterstones judges have rewarded mediocrity.
The @Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize 2025 has been awarded to Lucy Steeds, for her novel The Artist (@johnmurrays) 👇

FINALLY, Predator as a buddy-comedy, with the Predator on screen all the time, clearly lit, without any terror of the unknown; without the iconic infrared POV; an amateur rather than perfect killer, and a quirky quippy android, with humour as a major hook for the film.
First hunt. Last chance. From the director of Prey, watch the brand-new trailer for Predator: Badlands, in theaters November 7.

Gore Vidal claimed Orson Welles told him that William Randolph Hearst used “rosebud” as a pet name for Marion Davies’ clitoris. This was supposedly known to Hearst’s inner circle, and when Welles and Herman Mankiewicz used it as Kane's dying word, it was a private jab at Hearst.
