El amor como en las pelis / Like Love in the Movies

After a long silence... I'm back.

But don't rush into a explosion of joy just yet. No, unfortunately, it won't be like in the good old days, it's not that you are going to be able, once again, to delight in reading my every-other-day posts. I know - I'm so sorry.

I'm back just on emergency posting. I thought it was my duty to let you know about the literary event of the year: the online launching of Samita Garri's latest novel El amor como en las pelis (Like Love in the Movies).

Samita Garri's has decided to release El amor como en las pelis through the new online publishing platform Google Knol. Google Knol is totally free, so anyone can read the novel without paying a penny.

Google Knol is the last development in web 2.0. It's something that reminds a lot of Wikipedia (readers can modify entries and submit their modifications) but with an important difference: there are entry owners. This owners are also the moderators of their entries; they can accept or reject any modification sent by a reader. In short, Knol is a moderated Wikipedia.

Samita has decided to publish using this innovative platform so that readers are able to modify the story themselves. That's why El amor como en las pelis is making history in the publishing industry by becoming the first online-evolving novel ever published by a major literary author.

Enjoy the masterpiece!
