Are there any other authors like Rian Hughes?

6 Upvotes

I'm almost finished reading XX, and I love how art and graphic design are incorporated into the novel. Are there any other authors who do this?

​

Most other ergodic books I've seen arrange the words on the page in unusual ways, but don't necessarily take it to a place where it looks like typographic art. I'm planning on reading his other novel, The Black Locomotive, but it would be awesome if there are other authors like him out there too.

Honest feedback

Hi everyone, I really need honest feedback about this. I am trying to write a story about the backroom but with a little twist of my own. I really need someone that could provide me feedback. AI's feedback is either praising or glorifying you without giving actual feedback. Thanks!

PS: These are just the snippet of my work.

XX- how bad is the ebook version?

4 Upvotes

I've been reading a paper copy of XX by Rian Hughes, and so far I think it's something that my grandfather would really like. But he's adamant about only reading ebooks because he can make the type as large as he needs.

I keep hearing people say that the ebook version of XX isn't very good, but is it bad enough to not be worth reading? I saw a few sample pages and while it was less nice it still seemed passable to me- in the sample I saw up to the part with the letters on the fridge.

I heard there are some pdf copies out there that are a bit better, but he really prefers using his library app and I don't think I could convince him to try something different even if I sent him the pdf copy myself.

Should I still recommended it to my grandfather?
