Place and Space in New Media Writing

Scott Rettberg over at Grand Text Auto (A group blog about digital narrative, games, poetry, and art,) has posted a new entry about guest-editing a just-released issue of the Iowa Review Web focused on the ways that different forms of new media writing reconfigure concepts of place and space.

More to the point, this issue of the Web is a who's-who of Grand Text Auto posters, with an interview with Nick Montfort on his interactive dramaBook and Volume, as well as an interview with Michael Mateas and Andrew Stern on their IF game Façade.

To see what all the fuss is about, check out Interactivestory.net, the home of Façade, and also check out the Book and Volume homepage for a taste of some new interactive fiction.
