The novel begins as Arella prepares for 2000 and the fresh start it represents. More at home in cyberspace than anywhere she has actually lived, she reinvents herself and her life story for readers of a multimedia web diary she calls *Arella's Repertoire, * a blend of memoir, travelogue, and blog. Characters who star in this virtual drama recapture worlds Arella has known and weave together the memories, dreams, and imaginings that have contributed to her development as a woman and a writer in postmodern America. Framed as an online text that she posts incrementally throughout the month of December 1999, the narrative explores personal and cultural memory. *Arella's Repertoire* forms part of a quartet that also includes two works of nonfiction, *Video-Graphic Alchemy: Transforming "Dear Diary"* and *VirtualDayz: Remediated Visions & Digital Memories, * and another fictional text, *Vagabond Scribe (Leah's Backstory).*
In *Video-Graphic Alchemy: Transforming "Dear Diary,"* Elayne Zalis explores personal and cultural memories of life in the United States during the second half of the twentieth century. Blending fact and fiction, the retrospective brings together artistic, multimedia, and literary texts from her repertoire. A childhood diary that Zalis kept in the mid-1960s inspired these transmedia experiments. The book includes reproductions of more than twenty color and black-and-white images. For additional background, see www.TheMemoryChannel.com.
This "blook" preserves the musings on media and memory that Elayne Zalis posted on her blog, VirtualDayz, from June 27, 2005, to July 15, 2006 (see http: //www.virtualdayz. blogspot.com/). Both private and public archives inspire her reflections, which explore media in transition, a range that encompasses film, video, print, digital arts, and the Web. She is interested in what artists and writers are doing and in what critics and scholars are saying.
