Perhaps while reading Shakespeare you've asked yourself,
What exactly is Hamlet trying to tell me? Why must he mince words and muse in lyricism and, in short, whack about the shrub?
But if the Prince of Denmark had a Twitter account and an iPhone, he could tell his story in real timeand concisely! Hence the genius of
Twitterature
.
Hatched in a dorm room at the brain trust that is the University of Chicago,
is a hilarious and irreverent re-imagining of the classics as a series of 140-character tweets from the protagonist. Providing a crash course in more than eighty of the world's best-known books, from Homer to Harry Potter, Virgil to Voltaire, Tolstoy to
Twilight
and Dante to
The Da Vinci Code
. It's the ultimate Cliffs Notes. Because as great as the classics are, who has time to read those big, long books anymore?
Sample tweets:
From
Hamlet
: WTF IS POLONIUS DOING BEHIND THE CURTAIN???
From the
Harry Potter
series:
Oh man big tournament at my school this year!! PSYCHED! I hope nobody dies this year, and every year as if by clockwork.
The Great Gatsby
: Gatsby is so emo. Who cries about his girlfriend while eating breakfast...IN THE POOL?
