Oh.

This is nice. Someone is writing about Blue Company again. In the NYTimes.

Blue Company, a novel in e-mail by sincerely-yours-truly, has been performed twice:

once in 2001, with current events from the year,

again 2002, for a paid subscription audience, with current events from
that tumultuous year, and design collaboration from Rick Valicenti of 3st.

Blue Company is only the first part of a two part e-mail fiction,
the second part being Kind of Blue by hypertext author Scott Rettberg

When Blue Company 2002 came to its abrupt end, Rettberg missed
the daily installments in his inbox to the point that he began
to compose and e-mail a response, a sequel, a rebuttal --- his brilliant
Kind of Blue --- in which the characters of Blue Company are re-cast
and re-imagined.

Together, Blue Company and Kind of Blue form a complete work
in the new style --- the intimate, collaborative style of "chatmail."
