The premise is simple but brilliant: pick great writers and broadcast them to the wider world using technology that speaks to the contemporary consumer.
Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) July 27, 2009
Electric Literature is the first literary magazine to develop and launch an iPhone application, filled with stories by some of today's best authors. The inaugural issue is the only place readers can get an exclusive look at the new novel by Pulitzer-Prize winning author Michael Cunningham (The Hours).
In the debut anthology, Electric Literature No. 1, Cunningham tells the story of the separation of two brothers, one vital and elegant, the other troubled and restrained. Jim Shepard brings us to the Swiss Alps where a team of scientists investigate the poetry of avalanches to their peril. T Cooper shares a taste of one man's jealousy of his wife's ex-husband. Diana Wagman explores a young woman's first sexual relationship after a mastectomy, and Lydia Millet's celebrity dog-walker leads us into a world where people are beasts and dogs are the epitome of refinement.
