The future of the novel:

The novel will be interactive. There will be sidebars, extrapolations, definitions, comments, lists of references, pictures, web addresses.

And the like.

You can choose to read a tidbit of a character's past -- or not.

The page will look like a web page.

Pulling excerpts from my novel requires rum.

My thievery at least wasn't premeditated. I was trying to get somewhere, hopping through backyards, came across a bike.

I got on it, and got home faster. That's all.

I have that bike still. Or most of it: frame, handlebars, wheels, pedals.

The other parts come from other bikes.
