Twitterature Aleksandra Acimana i Emmetta Rensina jako wariant twitter fiction
Twitterature by Alexander Aciman and Emmett Rensin as a Variant of Twitter Fiction

Summary/Abstract: The following article aims to present a study on twitterature – an intersection of literature and Twitter and a variant of twitter fiction. The latter has become increasingly popular since the advent of Twitter at the end of the first decade of this century and has dwarfed longer and traditional narratives. The subject of analysis will be Twitterature. The World’s Greatest Books in Twenty Tweets or Less (2009) by Alexander Aciman and Emmett Rensin. The author of this article argues that parodic reworkings of 76 literary classics for the 21st century readers should be analysed as a variant or subgenre rather than a fully developed literary genre.
