News Summary: Amazon Pulls Paris Book Festival Sponsorship; London Book Fair Tackles AI Rights
London and Paris. The eponymous cities of the Dickens classic that haunted many a schoolday of mine. Paris, in the throes of a bloody revolution. London, checks Cliff Notes and memory alike and utterly fails to remember. Two and a quarter centuries later, and as book fairs loom in each of those great cities, we again have news from both.

Reality…But Better: Never Let Facts Get in the Way of Fiction
The holidays before these last holidays, my wife and I, our kids, and my in-laws went to Ecuador to cruise around the Galapagos Islands. As wonderful as that sounds, full disclosure, I had some doubts. The Galapagos Islands are far away, vacationing there is insanely expensive, and I personally have a long, sorted history of getting violently ill at sea. My wife, though, really wanted to go, so, well…off we went. I can’t tell you how happy I am that we did. For two reasons.
