e are pleased to be announcing the winner of the Schneerz hypertext
novel-writing contest for international high school students and
teenagers. The winning hypertext novel is a very spirited and lively romp
through virtual space. It is being entitled (The) Unknown and was written
by three different authors! The first author, Dirk Stratton, is fifteen years
old, was born in former Yugoslavia, and has just received his Ph.D. in
Unknown Poet Studies from the University of Cincinnati. His dissertation
is about Ronald Johnson. Nice going Dirk! The second author of this very
good and very funny hypertext novel is Scott Rettberg. Scott turned
thirteen last year and he, too, has just finished his doctorate. Scott is
from Dubuque. What a scholar! The third author, William Gillespie, is
forty-nine and is working on his G.E.D. He is also the Prime Minister of
Liechtenstein by birth. Three cheers for three very good hypertext
novelists from all of us here at Schneerz! Each of the three winners has
received a brand new red three-speed Schwinn and a MacArthur Genius
Grant. Just click on the animated duck to read this good novel.
