As the form of the object book constantly evolved since the 1960s, the development of digital literature questions what confronting the materiality of a narrative and its multimedia possibilities might entail. The themes of works such as Tom Phillips' A Humument (a work in progress since 1970) or Marc Saporta's Composition No. 1 (reissued by London-based publisher Visual Editions in 2011) must be reconsidered as they become available for touch pads. For his part, Mark Z. Danielewski—who wrote several novels in which the space of the page is central (House of Leaves in 2000 and Only Revolutions in 2006)—had to delay the digitalization of his works because he could not find a satisfactory digital equivalent to the visual processes of the print format (only The Fifty Year Sword, originally published in 2005, was digitally adapted in 2012).This article studies the dynamics between print and digital formats by analyzing the works quoted above in that they have successfully made the transition from one medium to another.
