In Canada, 19 writers from across the country participate in writing a novel – each contribting 600 words before passing it along to a colleague. “As the chapters crossed invisible borders, the initial linear plot took bizarre turns as creative visions clashed, and as they erased and re-introduced plot changes, such as the female protagonist’s ever-changing pregnant condition. ‘The book is not art, it’s a game. I don’t think the writers were very generous with each other, you would do something, and then the next character would undo it’.”
