LITERATURE AND TECHNOLOGY: A CYBER READING OF KAREN JOY FOWLER’S NOVEL WIT’S END

This work proposes a reading of the novel Wit’s End, by Karen Joy Fowler, which focuses on the connection between literature and the use of technology. In this work, language is well tuned with technology, provoking interactive connections with the internet which widen the range of narrative layers of discourse. This kind of structure makes the narrative somewhat blurred, forcing the reader to fill in the blanks according to his perception. If real life is greatly influenced by technology, the same is true for the fictional environment, as literary production is also written under the influence of technological novelties.
