Two parallel stories not presented in parallel, they divide and come together
and change from one to the other, links at the bottom, sometimes three plus home,
sometimes only home. One is about a family and the narrator as a child, the other about
her relationship with this guy Andy, what seems like a new beginning relationship, a
process of finding out, testing limits, these two paths link and follow and interweave,
building upon an understanding of the other. I found I liked this, followed the paths,
backtracked until I'd read all the lexias. Notice I wanted to fill in, have each new
reading give me more information rather than creating a new story. I wonder if a new way
of linking together the lexias, a random one, for instance, would make any
difference? Don't know if it would in this case, but might be worth trying out to see, or
how a flat version of this would read, any different. These are questions to ask, have to
if we are to get a grip on these type of works, to understand the dynamics of reading a
hyperfiction.
