Electric Literature Tells a Story in a Single Sentence Animation

Electric Literature is a new kind of literary quarterly of contemporary short fiction. Undaunted by the cries of "print is dead," co-editors and publishers Andy Hunter and Scott Lindenbaum embrace "every viable format: eBook, audiobook, Kindle, iPhone, paperback." Part of their "greater mission is to use new media and innovative distibutions, claiming to be the first literary magazine to publish on the iPhone and the first to launch a YouTube channel. Rick Moody's story "Some Contemporary Characters," which appears in the latest print version of the magazine, was first published on twitter "as a three day experiment in micro-serialization." True to their mission, they have also commissioned single sentence animation videos, their latest for Matt Sumell's story, "Little Things," animated by Vance Reeser, is posted above.
