An Aside - Electric Literature

Electric Literature is a quarterly literary magazine that revitalizes the short story by making each issue available in whatever form of media the reader desires: paper, Kindle, e-book, iPhone, and soon audiobook. Using their Twitter, writer Rick Moody will tweet an entire story in a few days. There was also a collaboration between authors, visual artists, and musicians creating Youtube videos inspired by a single sentence in selected stories.

Electric Literature was created by Andy Hunter and Scott Lindenbaum, writers who met at Brooklyn College's M.F.A. program in 2006. Check out NYTimes full story.

The animated videos were created as part of the first issue.
