Harper Beresford got a chance to give Jonathan Lethem an orientation and tour of Second Life prior to his appearance in-world this coming Sunday. Which raised a uniquely contemporary question: What's the best way to dress your avatar for a literary star's appearance in a virtual world?
Here's Harper's solution, a sexy gypsy-flavored ensemble with lots of bracelets scripted to move and clink together. "I wanted to have that soft jangle of bangles shifting and moving as I gesture and talk," Ms. Beresford says. "And yes," she adds, "I gave him a brief tour of SL. He was impressed." With Harper on his arm, I do not find that hard to believe.
Wow. A little short on news items today, are we?
