...Scottish group Arab Strap are reputedly one of the most "honest" bands making music today. Their subjects are bitterness and bad sex, and for critics the lack of boastfulness or titillation in Aidan Moffat's graphic lyrics translates into honesty. Yet these confessional monologues are coated with Malcolm Middleton's shy, down-tempo arrangements, resulting in delicacies baked from teen-angst and vinegar. Theirs is a music of transmogrification--making souffl out of haggis...
...planes that are coming to kill him. There were pictures of the giant mechanical head and hand of Kong. There was an illustration showing a section of the Empire State sloped like a ski ramp, with a man in a gorilla suit climbing while photographed from directly above. The graphic had been taken from a movie magazine that was getting out some prerelease publicity; like the facts in most movie magazines, it was incorrect.

...such, but rather a form of civic protest using artistic expression," says Cho, 30, a professional graphic artist and painter. "It's not an obsession, less yet a life's work.

But each of those hypertexts is a trapdoor that can plunge you down a different pathway of the story. Choose one and you drop into...
Forget what Virginia Woolf said about what a writer needs--a room of one's own. The writer she had in mind wasn't at work on a novel in cyberspace, one with multiple hypertexts, animated graphics and downloads of trancey, chiming music. For that you also need graphic interfaces, RealPlayer and maybe even a computer laboratory at Brown University. That was where Mark Amerika--his legally adopted name; don't ask him about his birth name--composed much of his novel Grammatron. But Grammatron isn't just a story. It's an online narrative grammatron.com that uses the capabilities...
