How to Change Literature
WHO NEEDS THE 3-D STORY?

I’ve been engaging in a lot of talk about the three-dimensional story, and will engage in more of it, BECAUSE whether or not we at New Pop Lit are able to perfect the idea– or someone else does– it’s a way out of the box into which the literary art has placed itself.
WHO needs the 3–D short story?
EVERYONE involved in the literary game in any way needs it– including at the highest levels, which are filled with caretakers and functionaries as much as literary artists. The scene is starved for a new kind of product– akin to the automobile business in the early 1950’s before the arrival of the Corvette, the Thunderbird, and the Mustang.
(Especially had the only models available back then been stodgy Studebakers and Ramblers. Which is the condition of today’s established literary world.)
TIME FOR A NEW MODEL
The 3-D Story is the key to unlocking the future of literature. At this time, at New Pop Lit headquarters, in our labs and workshops, we’re furiously designing story prototypes– discarding some, keeping others, with a single goal:
To create the most brilliant and exciting short story ever written.
Once the new model is perfected and street-ready– fully readable and unique– the task will become leveraging it. Properly announcing the better literary product to the world.
These posts, at this blog, are laying that groundwork.
