In the bestselling tradition of Stuff White People Like and I Can Has Cheezburger?, the next online humor sensation makes the leap to book form
When humorist Sarah Schmelling transformed Hamlet into a Facebook news feed, it launched the next big humor trend-Facebook lit. This hilarious book is the first to bring more than fifty authors and stories from classic literature back to life and online. Schmelling uses the conventions of social networking- profile pages, status updates, news feeds, and applications-to retell everything from The Odyssey to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to Lolita.
At last, your favorite characters and authors from classic literature have caved to the pressure and joined a social network. William Shakespeare, with a little help from author Sarah Schmelling, recruits everyone from Jane Austen to Oedipus Rex to James Joyce to his online booke club group. Of course, mayhem soon ensues:
-Mark Twain infiltrates Oscar Wilde's profile page and challenges him to a "quip off."
-Jane Eyre listens to "Hard Knock Life" on repeat.
-Hamlet becomes a fan of Daggers.
-Dracula wonders why this "Edward" and "Bella" are people he may know.
A loving spoof of the most-trafficked social networking website in the world and a playful game of literary who's who, Ophelia Joined the Group Maidens Who Don't Float will have book lovers and Facebook addicts alike twittering with joy.
SARAH SCHMELLING is a journalist and humor writer. She is author of McSweeney Internet Tendency's popular "Hamlet Facebook News Feed Edition." She has written for the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, Newsweek, Spin, and Variety.
