Sister Stories

"Hyperfiction artists Carolyn Guyer and Michael Joyce together with archaeologist Rosemary Joyce (Michael's sister) collaborated on this hyperfiction, Sister Stories, which explores ways to be women and men. Building from the mythological story of Coyolxauhqui, sister to Huitzilopochtli, and using postmodern apposition, they reconsider the nature of telling and of reading, of being inside and outside a story, a place, a field, a history, a text . . . They created this work with the hope that 'in a history of many men and women,' as Stein says, 'sometimes there will be a history of every one.'" -- Guyer, M. Joyce, and R. Joyce, "Literary Background"
