‘Shy Girl’ author releases statement after her novel was pulled amid allegations that she used AI to write it: “This controversy has changed my life in many ways and my mental health is at an all time low and my name is ruined for something I didn't even personally do.”

Pulp Fiction writer Roger Avary on what makes one a master storyteller: "I believe that when people go to movies they want to see the hero. I’ve long explored the anti-hero in films, and as I’ve grown older and kind of examined how people pattern off of movies that they see. I’ve started to kind of alter the kind of movies that I want to make. Look, revenge and wrath, that is the bread and butter of cinema, and you can be a young filmmaker and make a movie about revenge and it can be salacious and everything and fire endorphins and the serotonin levels jump. And you get called a master for making this. But a real master makes a movie about forgiveness. It’s really, really difficult to do." Is he right?
