  2. Literary Hypertext: The Passing of the Golden Age

    29 October 1999 Keynote Address, Digital Arts and Culture Atlanta, Georgia (This speech was also published in Feed in 2000.) Coover's DAC Keynote address discussed the transition from the "golden age" of narrative-driven, text-dominated hypertext fiction, mainly produced in Storyspace, to an era dominated by the practices and attention spans of the World Wide Web, and a new focus on the image.

  3. Wreader's Digest - How To Appreciate Hyperfiction

    Compared to its age - or youth - hyperfiction is a rather well-theorized genre. Hyperfiction-criticism either praises its subject as evolved print-text and better realization of contemporary literary theory - or deplore its - allegedly - low literary quality. What is missing, however, are in-depth readings of digital fiction that deemphasize theory and try to appreciate this new genre for what it has to offer.

    In this "paper", I will read two hyperfictions that are not among the two or three canonized texts that are relatively well-known and often-quoted. Both John McDaid's Uncle Buddy's Phantom Funhouse and Sarah Smith's King of Space deal with central issues of hypertext-theory - in content as well as formally. They are about agency and sense-making, ironically deconstructing mainstream theory's claims that digital, hyperlinked texts activate readers into a de-facto author-position. They are also representations of contemporary life that may be difficult to read at first but also make strangely adequate and enjoyable texts for today's readers. (Source: abstract in journal)

  7. Writing Synaptically: Using SCALAR as a Creative Platform

    I attended the ELO’s 2012 conference at WVU as a novice in electronic literature—primarily as a fiction person with an interest in the creative possibilities of new media, particularly given the ways in which the nature of the cinematic experience is becoming more personal. (Though I am a writer rather than a scholar, I have written critically on this topic in “The Lost Origins of Personal-Screen Cinema,“ a chapter in the anthology Small Cinemas Discovered Anew, forthcoming in 2014 from Lexington Books/Rowman-Littlefield.)
