Abstract (in English):
Extensive blog post in GrandTextAuto arguing that Christopher Strachey's love letter generator was in fact the first work of digital literature, with many references and quotations. A debate follows in the comments, for instance discussing the idea that the generator may be a form of anti-literature, a parody of literature.
