What's going on? Click Opera is in retro-minimalist mode while Momus writes a book.

What book? A full-length fictional confection called The Book of Jokes. If you have any good jokes -- or know a good literary agent -- leave details in the comments section or mail Momus.

When does normal service resume? September 1st.



What's happening in the meantime? This page will be changing every day, with news and announcements and links to old content from the last three years of Click Opera.

What's today's old content?

June 13th 2005: This piece dates from a time when Momus was mainly concerned with inventing new sins. The sin in question on June 13th 2005 was Repressive Inclusiveness. "Your one-size-fits-all philosophy is really a fear and hatred of difference, but it poses as inclusiveness and lack of discrimination."

June 13th 2006: "I may live with Japanese people, but I doubt I'll ever understand them," muses Momus, puzzled and impressed by new films from Joji Koyama and Tujiko Noriko. He's still never seen Sand and Mini Hawaii, but it sounds great.

Where is Momus today? In Berlin, writing the chapter about the family living in the glass house who have to service their dad, an enormous slithering penis.

Next Momus appearance: With Laila France and Kumi Okamoto at the Fleche D'Or in Paris on June 29th.

I helped my flatmate towards a top mark in her hypertext and intertextuality module, on this very subject, 12 years ago. When I hear about the brave new world of interactive or relay fiction it makes me run for the Claire Fontaine notebook and pencil. Still, my flatmate now writes large cheques for things like "Katie Price's Perfect Ponies", so it hasn't all been a waste.
