Electronic Literature in Nordic Languages

The ELO’s sister organization ELINOR has released an online directory of electronic literature in Nordic languages. The catalog features more than 60 links to works of electronic literature in Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish with short descriptions and screenshots from each work. Today at the University of Bergen there was a release party celebrating the release of the directory and also of the Electronic Literature Collection. Participants enjoyed a multilingual presentation and discussion of electronic literature.

Dr. Zhivago Returns

Jena Osman’s “The Periodic Table As Assembled by Dr. Zhivago, Oculist” was mentioned recently on the ELO site as a work in need of renovation; Osman was seeking a programmer to help restore the work. It is now back online and accessible to the public, thanks to David Ayre.
