CRONOLOGICAL SITUATION

Afterwards was published on December 2003, is one of the last works of Judy Malloy and is clearly based on her other hypernarratives. The work reflects all her experience in writing hypertext. It is at the same time complicated because of all the links and effects it has, but easy to read and understand. The text has elements of other hypernarratives of malloy, such as personages and other liryc resources .


Malloy has been working in hypertext since 1986. This gives us an idea of  the experience she has in writing text. So 'Afterwards' reflects all her knowledge about this topic. 

As Malloy says in the little interview I made, 'Afterwards' was written when she was feeling sad and depressed, so she needed to write histories that could end happy, as you can see reading the text, so it is another important factor that is reflected in the text 'Afterwards'.
