Intercutting

An ‘intercutting’ is a piece of prose spanning thirty lines, consisting of two seperate fifteen line stories cut into one another. The medium was created by Jean-Pierre Sertin and Pierre Monceau in 2005. Now a literary phenomenon (second only to the circular novel and the celebrity cookbook) ‘intercuttings’ owe their fame to the efforts of Georgy Riecke and Underneath the Bunker, where all of the following pieces first appeared.
