21st Century Literary Genres

    New literary work produced in the last decade is referred to as 21st Century Literature. It is written by contemporary writers and represents a technological society. It can deal with current themes/issues. It always defies established writing conventions.

    There are several genres of 21st-century literature. Illustrated novel, Digi fiction, graphic novels, manga, doodle fiction, text talk, chick lit, flash fiction, six-word fiction, creative nonfiction, science fiction, blog, and hyper poetry are only a few examples.

    Genre is a categorizing approach that allows one to compare and contrast works within the same genre, as well as explore how works extend or challenge genre-based constraints.

    For the time being, we'll look at the differences and parallels between a blog, text talk, and hyper poetry.

DIFFERENCES OF BLOG, TEXT TALK, AND HYPER POETRY :

BLOG

    A weblog is a website that contains short articles called posts that are updated on a daily basis. Such blogs are written by a single person and include only that person's thoughts, beliefs, and memories, while others are written by a group of people.

HYPER POETRY 

    

    is a form of digital poetry that makes use of hyperlinks and hypertext markup. It can either include fixed sentences, sentences, paragraphs, and so on that are presented in a random order that rest on the page like standard poetry, or it can contain moving and transforming portions of the poem. It is usually found online, through CD-ROM and diskette versions exist. The earliest examples date to no later than the mid-1980’s.

TEXT-TALK NOVELS

    Plots in the form of blogs, emails, and instant messages. Stories told almost completely in conversation, simulating social network interactions.

SIMILARITIES OF BLOG, TEXT TALK, AND HYPER POETRY :

    Text-talk novels, blogs, and hyper poetry are all multimedia mediums of literature that are related in several ways. They can also be hyperlinked, have visual aids, and be read in any order depending on the readers' list of hyper links because they are digitally available. Both three literary forms are part of the new multimedia media age.
