July 24, 2007 - In his new book "Nanodrama Not Nanofiction" Nigel Tomm introduces new literary genre - nanodrama. Nanodrama is drama characterized by its extreme brevity, as measured by its length in words, nanodramas are between 0 and 19 words long. Despite their briefness, they nonetheless manage to fully convey concepts, themes, and conflict. In this book Nigel Tomm presents his own 119 nanodramas, each with its own excitement, action, melodrama, movement, passion, provocation, and thrill.
Nigel Tomm is famous for discovering the phenomenon of literature's remixing, which was developed in his three books: "Shakespeare's Sonnets Remixed," "Shakespeare's Hamlet Remixed" and "Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Remixed."
In the first book "Shakespeare's Sonnets Remixed" Nigel Tomm took the original text of Shakespeare's Sonnets and deconstructed them into modern language and significance, beyond physical recognition with the original text.
In the same year (2006) Nigel Tomm published "Shakespeare's Hamlet Remixed." "Shakespeare's Hamlet Remixed" is not a drama in the traditional sense. This is a drama that takes place between words and language itself, in which Nigel Tomm deconstructs Shakespeare's Hamlet. Hamlet here is a mere word, lost in its own and externally imposed meanings that create the action, which starts, continues, and ends in an abstract scene representing life and everything beyond it is reflected in mirrors, green colour, and endless dialogues that are not present, but are substituted by incessant speaking or just text and words, which create and undo themselves in the eyes of the reader.
In 2007 Nigel Tomm released the third book "Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet Remixed," where he extended the limits of traditional understanding of text/grammar and used his own, narcotizing, sometimes meaningless language constructions. Signification here is been understood as something which points out a non-existence of pure senses or pure love. Love here is more than just love. Love is something what exists beyond characters, events or decorations. Nigel Tomm once said "This is a not a book about love. This is the book where love is - my personal, remixed love."
