This, following Divine (the third of the hypertextual books), is the fourth and last in the sequence. MM is seeking a collaborator versed in Roman history and interested in Ovid’s Metamorphoses to match his own interest in Japanese history and Lady Murasaki’s Diary. Murasaki and Ovid would be the hypertextual figures, the eroticism of their books, a common theme. MM feels that Japanese may be to Chinese as Roman is to Greek culture. He proposes to write the book through an exchange of email attachments. Both collaborators will have to rely upon English translations of their hypertexts.
