Michael Joyce

Michael Joyce is Professor Emeritus of English and Media Studies at Vassar College (USA). His 15 books and seminal digital works—most recently the poems Light in its Common Place (2020), the novel Remedia: A Picaresque (2018), and the Kindle e-book The World Beyond (2021)—span a career as novelist, poet, critic, theorist, digital literature pioneer, and multimedia artist. In the early 1990s The New York Times called his digital novel afternoon, a story ‘the granddaddy of hypertext fictions’. In 2020 it was the focus of an international online thirtieth-year festschrift hosted by the Electronic Literature Lab at Washington State University Vancouver (USA) as part of the Electronic Literature Organization virtual annual conference.
