24.6.09 Classic tales in Tweet form
My friend Marie Young Tweeted about two 19-year-olds getting a book deal. As far as I can make out, as the article is not clear about it, they are rewriting 20 classics in Twitter form.
So, does that mean we will get the following (as I Tweeted back to Marie)? @flyinglens I wonder, e.g. Cinderella: nasty stepsisters! Gone to ball, OMG, left shoe behind! Prince C. brings it back. Thank goodness! @flyinglens Or, Pride & Prejudice: Mum tried to hook Jane up. Darcy can be an SOB, but he does good stuff, cool! Nice ring! Yay Gardiners! Scary stuff. The predictions were right: Milton Glaser’s I heart NY symbol will become, by the middle of the twenty-first century, classical literature. Posted by Jack Yan, 06:02 Comments:
