I certainly did not expect something like this from a booklet (78 pages) accompanying House of Leaves. It was a beautiful and heartbreaking read. It is not just a collection of letters recounting the decline of a mother's mind with her thoughts always turned to her son, it is much more ❤ Having read House of Leaves is not necessary, but some passages certainly refer to it.

what's house of leaves?

the short version is, it's a book about a book about a book about a book about a movie that never existed about a house that's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. it is probably the single most famous/notorious existing work of "ergodic fiction", meaning basically fiction which exists in such a complex relationship with its medium that it takes nontrivial effort just to consume, meaning uhhhh a lot of it looks like this,

or worse!

it's like, fifty percent an extremely high-effort mockery of modern academia, it's often doing its active best to be completely incomprehensible to you, its and i cannot emphasize this enough A Space With A Beast In It. its awfully dear to my heart also. or as mark z danielewsky who wrote it puts it:

"I had one woman come up to me in a bookstore and say, 'You know, everyone told me it was a horror book, but when I finished it, I realized that it was a love story.' And she's absolutely right.

#house of leaves #hol #ask #anonymous #to clarify the first bit it is specifically like. an onion of unreliable narrators. scheherazade tactics with in-text citations #mark z danielewsky made a book about the editors making a book about johnny truant making a book about zampano making #a book about will navidson making a movie #about his family in A House Which Is Bigger On The Inside.#half the point of course is that at some point you start to feel that the book is also bigger on the inside

Quote

(...) I want something else. I’m not even sure what to call it anymore except I know it feels roomy and it’s drenched in sunlight and it’s weightless and I know it’s not cheap. Probably not even real.

Mark Z. Danielewski, from House Of Leaves

yall take it for granted that Johnny Truant’s sections are typed, not handwritten. we’re all so fucking lucky that Mark “Z” Danielewski didn’t go the extra mile and make Johnny’s sections handwritten with the most atrocious handwriting known to man

#house of leaves #johnny truant #mark z danielewski #even before his sanity slippage his handwriting would be unreadable
