MICHAEL JOYCE
Michael Joyce (born 1945) is a professor of English at Vassar College,
NY, USA. He is also an important author and critic of electronic literature.
Joyce's afternoon: a story, 1987, was among the first literary hypertexts
to present itself as undeniably serious literature, and experimented with the
short-story form in novel ways. It was created with the then-new Storyspace
software, deployed the ambiguity and dubious narrator characteristic of high
modernism, along with some suspense and romance elements, in a story whose
meaning could change dramatically depending on the path taken through its
lexias on each reading. (For instance, a hard-to-find series of lexias
presented a new set of facts about the narrator's actions which dramatically
affected the reader's judgment of him.) His Twilight, a symphony: a
hyperfiction (1996) was a second hypertext story.
Joyce's books include War outside Ireland: a novel (1982), Of two minds:
hypertext pedagogy and poetics (1995), Othermindedness: the emergence of
network culture (2000), and Moral tales and meditations: technological parables
and refractions (2001). He
is a graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop.
