Notes

  • Author's note: This work investigates the problem of reconceptualising narrative in an era of digitised communication (see, Egan 2010).
  • The Edge explores questions of narrative coherence, discontinuity and loss by recruiting web-based concepts and techniques for writing fiction. Borrowing a popular online textual mode, the 'wiki' page, the story is composed of interrelated fragments or vignettes. Its themes are enmeshed with its methodological frame: fragmentation, isolation, the randomness of loss and the pursuit of literary form.
