'People's Choice Literature' by Tom Comitta builds on the innovative art experiments of Komar and Melamid, exploring reader preferences in fiction through two contrasting novels. The 'most wanted' story is a thriller focused on preventing a dystopian surveillance state initiated by a tech mogul. In contrast, the 'least wanted' novel challenges norms with its disjointed elements, including stream-of-consciousness writing, explicit content, and metafictional commentary. This ambitious project aims to redefine reader engagement and presents a unique commentary on artistic expression and public taste in literature.
In an intriguing continuation of Komar and Melamid's art-into-science approach, Tom Comitta's 'People's Choice Literature' presents two contrasting novels reflecting what Americans desire and detest in fiction.
The project cleverly juxtaposes a thriller about surveillance against a chaotic narrative featuring stream of consciousness and unappealing tropes, successfully capturing the public's literary 'likes' and 'dislikes'.
