Abstract In the early 1990s, most large American publishing houses adopted desktop publishing software, creating an entirely digital book design and layout process. And no one noticed. To this day, only a few scholars have mentioned this fact, and there has been no significant consideration of the effect that desktop publishing has had on literature. This article considers how desktop publishing was employed in three twenty-first century novels: Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves (2001), Jennifer Egan’s A Visit from the Goon Squad (2010), and Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007). These novels are very different and employ desktop publishing software in different ways, showing the expansion of possibility in the era of digital print. Yet, all three also show a tendency to use the expanded typographic possibilities of digital technology to reinforce narrative and textual meaning, rather than to disrupt the workings of language or book traditions.

物质世界中的数字印刷:叙事中的叙事

摘要在1990年代初期,大多数美国大型出版社都采用台式出版软件,从而创建了一个完全数字化的书籍设计和排版过程。没人注意到。迄今为止,只有少数学者提到了这一事实,并且还没有对桌面出版对文学产生的影响进行重大考虑。本文考虑了如何在二十一世纪的三本小说中采用桌面出版技术:马克·Z·丹尼洛夫斯基(Mark Z. Danielewski)的《叶之屋》(2001),詹妮弗·埃根(Jennifer Egan)的《探访苍蝇小队》(2010)和朱诺·迪亚兹(JunotDíaz)的《奥斯卡·瓦奥的奇妙人生》 2007)。这些小说有很大的不同,它们以不同的方式使用桌面出版软件,显示了数字印刷时代可能性的扩大。然而,
