Bolter and M. Joyce - Storyspace, based on spatial metaphor - "topographic metaphor" / "writing space". As an alternative to the code format found in books, hypertextual literature, supported by MEMEX (V. Bush) and Xanadu (T. Nelson) projects, has developed substantially, defining itself as a continuation of the modern "tradition" of experimental literature in print, freeing both the author and the reader from the restrictions of the printed medium and favoring new experiments in literary structure. Storyspace is used for writing novels, articles, reports, creating university courses. In this article, three hyperfiction products will be analyzed in more detail, the hypertextual novels: “Afternoon. A story ”M. Joyce; Patchwork Girl S. Jackson; "Victory Garden" S. Moulthrop, presenting their structure and hypertextual specificity.rohypertextArticle
