Hybrid novels
A new way of reading narrative fiction
·
A hybrid novel can be seen as a hybrid image-text novel where written text & graphic devices such as illustration, photography, information graphics or typographic treatments may interject in order to hold a readers’ interest, adding interactiveness to the book and also giving the printed page a multidimensional visual surface. It is a kind of book that requires the readers’ actions and also to be handled and experienced.
