"Tweeting" Stories?
Quote:
News many will be quickly thrilled by: Brooklyn author Jennifer Egan has composed a short story revolving around a character from her 2011 Pulitzer winner A Visit From the Goon Squad. News many may be instantly worried about/fearful of/angered by: This story, an 8,500-word piece, will debut on The New Yorker's NYerFiction Twitter account Thursday evening and be serialized over the span of ten nights, with one tweet posted per minute between the hours of 8 and 9 p.m. Eastern. Each tweet is a new entry in a spy's mission log; the tale is titled "Black Box."

A story told on Twitter-and by a highly regarded BPH author under the auspices of the high-toned New Yorker magazine, no less!

Wave of the future?

And if it is the WotF , do you like the concept?
