When I read about Shelly Jackson’s new project—to “publish” a story by tattooing each of its 2,095 words onto the body of a different person—I thought what a great idea, and I wondered if it might actually be telling us something about the direction books are going. As the digital book begins to emerge—glorious, ephemeral, and electric—are we going to feel compelled to make something even more intimate and rarified as counterpoint?
