This week, we open the cafe with a toast to Dolly Parton and the 332-million-book literacy legacy she built with the Imagination Library.
In publishing news: the Anthropic settlement disbursement timeline; HarperCollins's appetite for more AI payouts; Audible's AI voice expansion; and why the "godfather of AI" still needed a human writer.
Then we settle onto the Overthinking Couch for a deep dive into third-person POV.
