l0ve0ne
by Judy Malloy

Although, I did live in Europe in the 1960's, and the image is my passport photo from that era, the narrator of l0ve0ne is not me. The first person is used, as it is in many of my other works, as a narrative device that not only effects the telling, in that it allows the writer to disclose the details of the main character's life in an intimate way, but also effects the reading, in that it situates the reader in an intimate relationship with the main character.

In the spirit of the Internet, in the spirit of the web, portions of l0ve0ne, originally appeared in servers all over the country -- Sausalito, California; Palo Alto, California; Arlington, Virginia; and the Massachusetts North Shore. Thanks to Mark Bernstein at Eastgate for hosting the original web version on the Eastgate Web Workshop, where the original version still resides.

In 1994, at the time l0ve0ne was written, I felt that placing the link before the linked word instead of directly on it, was a more eloquent linking strategy. To navigate individual lexias, click on any _____ in any lexia.
