Novel simulations in Second Life -- West Bank story -- Tim Parks on George Steiner's unwritten books |
| Summary |
"There's the Charles Dickens theme park, book-inspired computer games and film adaptations of novels like Bladerunner, but to get an immersive experience of a book, some enthusiasts have recreated the settings of their favourite novels in Second Life, an online virtual world. A literary conference in Second Life called 'Stepping into Literature' featured these simulations and librarians, book lovers and academics attended."--Website |

"George Steiner has called his most recent work My Unwritten Books and in it he describes seven books he didn't write. The themes of these unwritten books include a love for animals, exile, thoughts on the English scientist Joseph Needham, who produced a massive history of Chinese culture and invention, and the experience of sex in different languages. Tim Parks gives his thoughts on My Unwritten Books."--website |
