Nanonovels are flash fictions written in five minutes and inspired by random stimuli: a phrase picked at random from a book, typed into a search engine, and a story written from what you find there.
The original Nanonovels by Jules Horne were written in the year the Kindle was born, marking a new era for books, reading and readers.
They record a daily experiment at “the place where Oulipo meets improv”. It’s a place of wonder, ostriches, languages, trolls, European literature, and beautiful code.
Freedom is the sensation of making a choice — Brian Greene
