Author: Richard Holeton

Web URL or medium: CD-ROM, Storyspace hypertext format

Description: Figurski at Findhorn on Acid is a hypetext novel published by Eastgate Systems (2001) on CD-ROM, written in Storyspace. What do a murderous graduate student, a handless cup flipper, and a devious cross-dressing journalist have in common? All three want to find a pair of centuries -old mechanical pigs. Their alliances and double-crosses take them from a Scottish commune to the Moroccan desert by way of a Florida trailer park. Along the way, alternate and virtual realities are explored, until apst, future, and processed ham are revealed and fed to the pigs. According to Michael Tratner, chair of the English Department at Bryn Mawr, "Holeton's hypertext belongs in the tradition of screwball comedy, but it raises that tradition to the level of metaphysics-- a cross between Borges and the Marx Brothers." This title is available for purchase at Eastgate Systems.
