Picador Professor Tom Drury Posts Short Story on Twitter 

As part of his Picador Professorship at American Studies Leipzig, the author Tom Drury took over the professorship's official Twitter account for a few hours on July 26 and posted a series of tweets that, together, form the short story "The Patron Saint of Rabies." If you missed how the story was live-tweeted, you can still reread it in its entirety on Twitter.

Drury's short story continues an effort of trying to fuse social media and literature (for instance as so-called twitterature) that began with last semester's Picador Professor, Paul La Farge, whose short story "Hum" was also originally published as a series of tweets on the professorship's official account, back in December 2016.
