Nove Impeachments

Abstract

This book – outcome of a Creative Writing doctorate program – is not a novel, it is not a col-lection of short stories, this book does not even intend to fit into a supposedly traditional nar-rative: this book, at best, for lack of a better word, is a hybrid book that involves a diffused protagonist and develops itself in different contexts, whose organic meaning desires to be found not only through the superposition of mediums, sometimes by parallel, sometimes by contrast, but also from the abstract level between different entries, forming a narrative flow and, if possible, an unconventional unit. It is, finally, an experimental project, composed of two distinct and yet complementary layers: a fictional work and a reflective one. In the first part, fictional episodes are presented as originally written, always remembering that it is, in-deed, a project built to be read in a double fashion, primarily on paper, with the obligatory help of a tablet or smartphone or any future technology capable of reading a QR Code – thus, for the QR Code reading, it’s necessary to download any free reader available on any app store, such as QR Code Reader Extreme or similar, some kind of reader’s choice. The second part, in turn, is a theoretical-reflexive essay, acting as source and extension of the discussion produced by the previous narrative discourse, while a debate is proposed on the tenuous rela-tions between literature and technology, from a perspective that questions both the character of originality of the text and the position of the author in the contemporary scenario, in addi-tion remarking on the text, images and links as much as possible. In this format, the goal is to create a network of movements whose function is ultimately to reveal the hidden limits of the text – being, therefore, an attempt to suggest new models of exposure of the interstices of cre-ative process, trying to postulate itself as a useful tool in the construction of knowledge.
