I'm new to writing interactive fiction, and it's fun, if you can get around the technical glitches and bugaboos. I'm a pretty big fan of literature - Kafka, James Joyce, Becket, Malcolm Lowrie, Dostoyevsky, Hemingway, Conrad (all dead now, of course - hmm). My favorite woman author is Margaret Laurence.
The fictions here are influenced by Kafka ("The Trial") and Goethe ("The Sorrows of Young Werther").
