Twitterature received a nice review (can't remember where I read the
review), which included an interview with the two young men who are students
at the U of C. I haven't read it, but I plan to take a look-see. Cheers,
Christine

Perhaps you once asked yourself, ‘What exactly is Hamlet trying to
tell me? Why must he mince his words, muse in lyricism and, in short,
whack about the shrub?’ No doubt such troubling questions would have
been swiftly resolved were the Prince of Denmark a registered user on
Twitter.com. This, in essence, is Twitterature.
Here you will find seventy-five of the greatest works of western
literature – from Beowulf to Bronte, from Kafka to Kerouac, and from
Dostoevsky to Dickens– each distilled through the voice of Twitter to
its purest, pithiest essence. Including a full glossary of online
acronyms and Twitterary terms to aid the amateur, Twitterature
provides everything you need to master the literature of the civilised
world, while relieving you of the burdensome task of reading it.
From Hamlet: WTF IS POLONIUS DOING BEHIND THE CURTAIN???
From Dante’s Inferno: I’m havin a midlife crisis. Lost in the woods.
Shoulda brought my iPhone.
From Oedipus: PARTY IN THEBES!!! Nobody cares I killed that old dude,
plus this woman is all over me. Total MILF.
From Paradise Lost: OH MY GOD I’M IN HELL.
