Abstract/Summary

A short science-fiction story written using only words from 'Frankenstein' (Shelley, 1831). 'Affectation Correspondence' forms part of Frearson's ongoing major project Frankenstein2, which aims to reconfigure the entirety of Mary Shelley’s 'Frankenstein' (1831) using all and only the words from the original into a new expanded novel and associated works. In 'Affectation Correspondence', the story is narrated by an underground ‘feelings trader’ and is interspersed with elements of concrete poetry, which serve to reveal the structures of its making (as a form of database narrative)."
