[rccs: figurski at findhorn on acid]

Yesterday David Silver at the Resource Centre for Cyberculture Studies published my latest review (along with others of course). This time, rather than reviewing a print book as before, I was asked to review a hypertext fiction: Figurski at Findhorn on Acid by Richard Holeton. This marked the first review of a hypertext to be published by the RCSS (now hosted at the University of San Francisco). As I scrolled through the list of books reviewed, relishing the knowledge of my involvment, my heart suddenly thumped...eek! The author of Figurski, Richard Holeton, had responded to my review!!!! Thankfully, he wrote his review in a voice as measured and light-hearted as the one employed in his fiction. Holeton was largely supportive of my views and added some interesting points including news about the publication of the Electronic Literature Organization's The Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 1 (edited by N. Katherine Hayles, Nick Montfort, Scott Rettberg, and Stephanie Strickland).

My thanks go to David Silver for including hypertext fiction within the realm of cyberculture resources and to Richard Holeton for his supportive and interesting response.
