(Is Jackson's _My Body, Wunderkammer_ a fiction? In any case, I think _Patchwork Girl_ is far better known) It’s a little strange to read a history of literary hypertext that omits Michael Joyce’s _afternoon_ (1987), Stuart Moulthrop’s _Victory Garden_ (1989), and Shelley Jackson’s _Patchwork Girl_ among many other terrific hyperfictions!
