True Legends, an app adaptation of author Alex Epstein’s illustrated short story, is free in iTunes this week.
The interactive app, from Electric Literature, tells the story of a blind piano tuner. It features design and illustrations by Tsach Weinberg and music by Ulrich Ziegler. The app is designed with intuitive navigation and readers can use gestures instead of page turns to interact with the story.
“We are tremendously proud to publish Alex Epstein’s work again, and his use of a new medium and method of storytelling is inspiring,” explained Andy Hunter, founder of Electric Literature in a statement. “We are excited to present this unique app to readers everywhere. We are in an era of publishing innovation and Electric Literature is an enthusiastic participant.”
