Keitai fictions, the compressed mobile novels, are one of my favorite mysterious topics. Mysterious because I couldn’t find one in a language other than Japanese (which I don’t understand). Last summer some Italian guy wrote a novel for mobile while going back and forth to work (see related post), claiming, actually he didn’t claim anything personally but Italian press did, that that was the first mobile novel ever. Now I read on if:book of a South African-born New York-resident writer Barry Yourgrau, who managed to break the Japanese market with his own keitai (keitai meaning ) stories. These stories can be read on Barry’s blog.
