Proving that even Pulitzer Prize winners are embracing social media, decorated author Jennifer Egan is publishing her next short story via Twitter.
Egan’s story, “Black Box,” began with a first 140-character Tweet on the New Yorker Fiction Twitter account last week. A new line is published every minute from 8 to 9 pm EST. This format of a Tweet-A-Minute will continue every night from 8 to 9 pm EST through June 2 when the final line of the 8,500-word story is published.
Egan's 2010 novel, "A Visit From the Goon Squad," won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
For those who would rather not have to wait that long to read a story, The New Yorker will be publishing the completed story in its upcoming science-fiction edition.
