Abstract

This article reflects on the novel Composition No.1 by Marc Saporta in its instantiation as a printed book and an iPad app. My aim is to understand how the transformation and transduction of Marc Saporta’s text informs us about the contemporary textual and literary condition considering its print and electronic context. I propose that one of the current strategies in approaching the category of the book, and especially the narrative genre, is the feedback between digital and electronic processes as a way of intensification of the bibliographic aspects. At the same time, and because we are dealing with feedback loops processes, such exercises are, paradoxically, the reconceptualization of electronic literature itself within a logic and strategy characteristic of the post-digital.
