Locations in 'The Death of Bunny Munro'

[mockduck]

As a Brightonian, when I read Nick Cave's novel The Death of Bunny Munro, I must have a very different experience than someone who's unfamiliar with the city

Plotting points on maps is, I have to say, a very mySociety-style activity

I love plotting things on maps - I think that's one reason I like mySociety stuff so much.

Yep, it's definitely the cases that most mySoc projects have maps either explicitly involved, or cleverly used behind the scenes.

This is rather clever and entertaining. It seems like this could be done with other books.

[mockduck]

Yes, definitely, anywhere strongly location-based and with action that moves around a bit. Dubliners springs to mind - I bet that's been done.

Ulysses apparently makes a big question mark.

Ooh, it was probably Ulysses I was thinking about, wasn't it?

How do they do the dot of the question mark then? I hope the end has the protaganists going underground, or catapulted over the required amount of ground, only top emerge at the right spot. ;)

Brilliant idea! I've used Streetview to research settings, and I'm sure books of the future will include interactive maps.

The books of the future will be projected onto your eyes as you walk around the virtual environment, as any fule kno.
