Literary Marathon on the blog

’42 Y 195′ is the first Spanish electronic book written in real time on the Internet. It corresponds also to the distance of a marathon: 42 kilometres and 195 metres.

Miguel del Fresno, director of a publishing company, has written his third book via his blog. It deals, kilometre after kilometre, with the mental and physical experiences of a marathon runner.

The readers of his blog could follow, day by day, the writing process of the author and send suggestions or negative/positive feedbacks.

The “networked” author finished his literary marathon on June 21. The “copyleft” book is downloadable online (it’s in Spanish, of course.)
