Apparently The Guardian has been publishing its series of Digested Classics for going on a year now, but it wasn't until we received a Google Alert over the weekend (we long ago set one for Douglas Coupland) that we noticed it. Each week, John Crace writes a 700-word critical essay, one that the paper deems an "incisive pastiche," of seminal works of literature. We loved what he did with Generation X and wanted to share it with you. Simple as that! [Guardian UK]
