Michael Joyce (writer)
Michael Joyce (born 1945) is a retired professor of English at Vassar College, New York, US. He is also an important author and critic of electronic literature. Joyce's '' afternoon, a story'', 1987, was among the first literary works of hypertext fiction to present itself as undeniably serious literature, and experimented with the short-story form in novel ways. It was created with the then-new Storyspace software, deployed the ambiguity and dubious narrator characteristic of high modernism, along with some suspense and romance elements, in a story whose meaning could change dramatically depending on the path taken through its lexias on each reading. For instance, a hard-to-find series of lexias presented a new set of facts about the narrator's actions which affects the reader's judgment of the narrator. In ''The New York Times'', Robert Coover called ''afternoon'' "the granddaddy of hypertext fictions", while The ''Toronto Globe and Mail'' said that it "is to the hypertext inter ...
