This is Not a Fairy Tale by Tim Kenny

Tim Kenny studied Classics in London and Manchester. His thesis explored (amongst other exciting things) intertexts and indeterminacies in Hellenistic epic. He likes texts that nudge readers off the path, texts that leave spaces for readers to create and what he researches on a large scale, he aims to produce in miniature. Essentially, he reads big but writes small.

 

 

 

This ten word story was typed on an Olivetti-Underwood, Lettera 22, manual typewriter, made in Italy c. 1961.  Let’s call him Lorenzo.
