fleshthresholdnarrative

"The particular concern with the 'fleshthresholdnarrative' series is with the limit-sites of narrative (where narrative spills over into theory, poetry, data/information, the sciences, history, etc.). Rather than (re)constructing a more familiar form of narrative (those forms of chronological, causal, and organized events inherited from the 18th century), my interest was to explore the non-narrative aspects of narrative, and the narrative aspects in non-narrative within a context akin to J.G. Ballard's 'condensed novels' (e.g., 'The Atrocity Exhibition'). The highly aphoristic and dense quality of these segments was also well-suited to the medium of hypertext and the net in terms of establishing in the act of reading a range of inter-relationships." -- From The New River Journal
