A lecture on Dubravka. Microsites?

I was poking around Dubravka Ugresic’s website today, and I came across something I thought you all might find interesting:

Jasmina Lukic of Central European University lectured about Dubravka at UCLA last December, and they’ve been good enough to put the lecture up on their website here. Lukic talks quite a bit about Nobody’s Home, using one of the essays from the book as a jumping off point to understanding Dubravka’s work.

Anyway, the reason I was poking around Dubravka’s site was because I was thinking about making “microsites” for our authors: something along the lines of what ReadySteadyBook! has done, but more interactive, maybe with an editable wiki page where people can add information of their own.

For someone like Dubravka, who has quite a bit of information online, it may not be as useful, but I think it might be a good way to make more English-language information about someone like Ricardas Gavelis available.

Is this something you would find interesting? Would you participate? Is it just unnecessarily reproducing the work that could just be happening on Wikipedia? Is this the kind of thing you’d like to see on a publisher’s website?
