A Chinese author plans to make history by writing his next novel exclusively for mobile phone users, who will receive it in the form of short messages, state media reported Monday.
Qian Fuchang has chopped his novel "Outside the Fortress Besieged" - a steamy tale of illicit love among already married people - into 60 chapters of 70 characters each, the Xinhua news agency reported.
Xie Wangxin, vice chairman of the Guangdong Literary Academy in southern China, assured the agency that despite the extreme brevity of the chapters, the novel would be "a real literary work."
China has about 300 million mobile phone users.
