TEXTS FROM JANE EYRE - and other conversations with your favourite literary characters

TEXTS FROM JANE EYRE is a witty, irreverent mash-up that brings the characters from your favorite books into the twenty-first century.

Everyone knows that if Scarlett O'Hara had an unlimited text-and-data plan, she'd constantly try to tempt Ashley away from Melanie with suggestive messages. If Mr. Rochester could text Jane Eyre, his ardent missives would obviously be in all-caps. And Daisy Buchanan would not only text while driving, she'd text you to pick her up after she totaled her car. Mallory Ortberg, the co-creator of the cult-favorite website The Toast, presents this whimsical collection of hilariously imagined text conversations from your favorite literary characters. Based on a popular web-feature, Mallory Ortberg is the co-creator of The Toast, a general-interest website geared toward women. She has written for Gawker, New York Magazine, The Hairpin, and The Atlantic. She lives in the Bay Area with her laptop and her cat. Praise for Mallory Ortberg and The Toast: "Mallory Ortberg is regularly my favorite thing on the Internet." —Rainbow Rowell, author of Eleanor and Park and Fangirl "The editorial voice of The Toast [is] a melting pot of feminist discourse, literature, pop culture, and humor...Needless to say, the site is pretty excellent." —Geekosystem.com
