Too many tweets?

Teju Cole, the author of “Open City”, also published a short story via Twitter at the beginning of this year. He enlisted friends to tweet different parts of “Hafiz”, and then retweeted each in sequence. The story was about a man having a heart attack in public, with each tweet reading like a different individual’s account of the event. Mr. Cole told the New York Times that the idea came from projects like Shelley Jackson’s “Skin”, in which she tattooed each of the 2,095 words of her short story onto separate individuals, and Janet Cardiff’s “40 Part Motet”, which involved a version of Thomas Tallis’s “Spem in Alium” in which the voices of 40 different singers come from 40 different speakers.
