Subject: computers and writing style

I have received a query from a Montreal journalist, Patricia Bergeron,
<pbergero@aei.ca>, asking about the impact of computers in contemporary
litterature. She's writing a paper about the impact of the computer on the
writing style of contemporary authors, the fascination and dangers of the
computer for them as they see it, their experiences with e-mail and how it
may have changed their writing. I could not be very helpful, but I would
suppose that a number of Humanists could.

May I suggest, then, that anyone with something to say on the subject write
to Ms. Bergeron, with a copy to Humanist? She is not a member at the moment.

Thanks.
