Now you can say there are very special bloggers around, and some of them even manage to do it 60 years after they passed away.
the Orwell Prize set up a blog with Orwell’s diaries, posted day by day beginning July 1938. This experiment for me unveils the fictional potential of all blogging, that gives the “reality taste” to whatever sort of text proposes.
As those diaries were actually written “for real”, the effect is unsettling, and for me a very emotional experience. Can’t wait for Anne Frank’s blog.
