LITERATURE: At Swim-Two-Birds – Hypertextual Structure

Okay, I admit that I had to check this out so I did just some quick research to figure out what was going on here.  While at another time in life I might have joyfully accepted without question, or perhaps understood it without question, the way my brain’s been working lately I became lost after the first few pages.

This is hypertext before hypertext was invented, I think.  There’s a narrator, a college kid who appears to be writing stories (looks like three of them) and he’s got the absolute right idea:  Why just one beginning?  Why just one end?

Perfect timing for my reading of this–if I can follow it–as I come closer to developing something in hypertext myself.
