The Gulf War and its media frenzy serve as the backdrop for this sprawling tale of campus politics, seduction, war, and dissent. 
In the winter of 1991, Emily Runbird is compelled to leave graduate school for a position as a postal clerk in the Gulf War. She also leaves her lover, another graduate student named Victor Gardner, who has more than his share of trouble on the home front after Jude Bush, an undergraduate with a curious past, embarks on a mad campaign to seduce him. Meanwhile, Emily has made it clear that her true love is Victor's middle-aged and possibly deranged thesis advisor, Boris Urquhart. 
Robert Coover called this hypertext "indispensable... No one has taken on the hard questions about hypertext and fiction or played so intrasigently with the myriad possibilities and obstacles of this new art form as Stuart Moulthrop, its leading practitioner and theorist. The publication of his first full-length narrative work, Victory Garden, marks a new stage in hyperfiction's development."

Hypertext is now commonplace: links and linking structure nearly all of our experiences online. Yet the literary, as opposed to commercial, potential of hypertext has receded. One of the few tools still focused on hypertext as a means for digital storytelling is Twine, a platform for building choice-driven stories without relying heavily on code. In Twining, Anastasia Salter and Stuart Moulthrop lead readers on a journey at once technical, critical, contextual, and personal. The book's chapters alternate careful, stepwise discussion of adaptable Twine projects, offer commentary on exemplary Twine works, and discuss Twine's technological and cultural background. Beyond telling the story of Twine and how to make Twine stories, Twining reflects on the ongoing process of making.
