These Waves of Girls, the Electronic
Literature Organization's 2001 Fiction Award Winner, bills itself
as a "hypermedia novella." We think it just might be the model for
the future of literature. From the
ELO site:
"These Waves of Girls" is a hypermedia novella exploring memory,
girlhoods, cruelty, childhood play and sexuality. The piece is composed
as a series of small stories, artifacts, interconnections and meditations
from the point of view of a four year old, a ten-year old, a twenty
year old..."
