Danielewski hams it even further, making the only expert on the non-existent film blind (and dead),
and gives the task of analyzing his work to the most unreliable of all characters, Johnny Truant, a
Bret Easton Ellis-ish character whose junkie lifestyle is such that half the time he is not sure he is
even there (get it? Truant ?). Only those brave to have read House of Leaves can possibly know. The
pictorial arrangements of the words and spacing are meant to add meaning to the story. Fortunately,
as I was reading the book, I added comments about it on Goodreads. I think you’re supposed to pay
attention to both but this may cause your cerebral cortex to cleave in two so this is a choice that you
make early on, and at your own risk. Only when they move in they discover that the house has
changed: it appears bigger on the inside than the outside, by a fraction of an inch. Not only is it
merely perspectives, but how the perspectives move within the physical and psychological space.
And then for better or worse you'll turn, unable to resist, though try to resist you still will, fighting
with everything you've got not to face the thing you most dread, what is now, what will be, what has
always come before, the creature you truly are, the creature we all are, buried in the nameless black
of a name. The book seems to take pride in trying its damnedest to give you a headache, and then
expects you to like it (unless Danielewski is a sociopath, and wants people to suffer while reading
this, in which case I've misinterpreted). Not super confusing so far, except this Navidson record is
told in extreme detail by Zampano -- a blind man-- and includes tons of individual interpretations
and theories provided by various critics which serves as the intellectual perspective of this gradually
terrifying documentary. The brazen bull is a hollow brass bull made to roast a man inside its cavity.
So off I go to Appendix II. (Jess - I now have two bookmarks permanently in the book and one that
comes and goes as needed.) The obit is brief. The correspondence covers sixty-seven pages. To think
about what it means to track allusions in a novel. I also get the impression this is one of those books
where you need to read every word between the front and back covers.footnotes, chapter epigraphs,
maybe even the review excerpts and publication information. Truant is a safety net for the reader that
is quickly torn away from them and spinning off into his own narratives. The Cottingley fairies
Arthur Conan Doyle was so enamoured with were pictures supposedly taken of fairies. House of
Leaves has the sense that these parallel worlds are occurring simultaneously, and the gaps in text in
particular - either through damage to the original manuscript also when characters decide to stop
writing - assume the novel’s central taboo from the outset - it’s ability to capture reality will always
be flawed. It became disorienting moments of horrifying explorations in mysterious hallways that
appear and disappear, changing position and dimension. Pelafina is confined at the Whalestoe
Institute for the insane. Danielewski's House of Leaves is all sorts of twists and turns. The House on
Ash Tree Lane was introduced via the written documentation about the “Five and a Half Minute
Hallway” within the Navidson Record film. The inner space of the house has changed significantly.
See, House of Leaves is a narrative which does absolutely everything to be as unconventional as
possible - the story of Navidson, his family and explorations of the house are not narrated by him or
the traditional third person omniscient narrator - that would be much, much too simple. Bats use

decides to publish it. Physically, the contents of the book move as leaves via the internet, to the book
we're holding, and finally in Navidson's hands as he burned the House of Leaves book to be able to

Danielewski's House of Leaves is all sorts of twists and turns. It’s also kind of fun if you’re into

In Imaginary Magnitude (1973) he collected introductions for nonexistent books; A Perfect Vacuum

remark on small things they noticed while publishing the book. Here's a little anecdote that speaks to
the possibilities of this book: I was an RA my junior and senior years of college. There's the
movement, frequently, from the Editors and Johnny all the way to the House and its inhabitants. A
new version with stitched illustrations was released in the United States 2012 (including a limited-
edition release featuring a latched box that held the book). I can foresee some nights coming up
where I start reading and the next thing I know it's 1 or 2 in the morning. It came out my freshman
year in high school so I’m not quite sure when I learned of its existence but I’m thinking it was in
college. Johnny Truant procured the manuscript when his friend Lude called him to view Zampano’s
apartment, “nailed shut and sealed with caulking.to retain the various emanations of his things and
himself.” The academic manuscript contained notes about a film called The Navidson Report. This
history of the book moves into the story with Johnny observing that his story was circulated around
via the internet and gained legendary status. Each author is given their own font, and every time the
word “House” is written, it’s written in blue ink. By taking the approach he did, Danielewski created

perspective, encompassing Navidson's perspective, encompassing the house and its inhabitants. I
have witnessed people praising this novel as the future of literature, as the next step of the evolution
of the novel. Or is it the house that owns him.and his family? Writing a review of this book at this
point would be difficult at best, because there's so much there. I made it back pretty much to the
same place I'd stopped at the night before - kind of like travelling through the maze in a circle - and
even though I'd covered the same ground and was still pretty much lost I felt better about that and at
least knew one way not to try again.hopefully. Last night I read the chapter in which the house goes
berserk. Here are some of my favorite quotes: “You might try then, as I did, to find a sky so full of
stars it will blind you again. Johnny was haunted by an act that Pelafina committed out of her love
for him, an incident he denied as a mother’s gentle wiping of her son’s tears before they take her
away. Had Danielewski executed House of Leaves properly, it would have been a nice quickie - not
necessarily memorable by any means, but at least enjoyable. On the other hand, the parallel narrative
of the finder of the originary document who goes slowly mad as he reads it, does suggest that the
penalty for pushing unprepared into the study of human knowledge has some very serious potential
side effects. Occasionally, the satire of academic writing feels a bit overdone, as do the lengthy lists
that fill some of the middle of the book go from making a clever point to smashing the reader over
the head with the point.
The House on Ash Tree Lane: The inhabitants of the house, Will Navidson and his partner Karen
Green moved into the house on Ash Tree Lane in a Virginia countryside in order to repair their
crumbling relationship strained by his frequent travels for his work as a film documentarist, and her
infidelities. No one could have anticipated the small but devoted following this terrifying story
would soon command. Ona can imagine Danielewski sitting in his chair, back to the reader, petting
his cat and laughing devilishly, hiding behind his post-modern armor. The house on Ash Tree Lane, in
the Virginian suburbs, away from the bustling city of New York. The long pages made me
intimidated for sure but I was not ready enough to appreciate the main complex concept with lots of
plots intercepted and the richness of subtexts, messages behind the lines hiding inside poems,
mythology, lyrics. The important aspect of this novel is how the text is arranged on the page. Yet to
those outside, those who are not part of the community of inquiry, the house appears as it always
has. They grow and shrink, terrifying a family of four, living there, Will Navidson, a famous
photojournalist and his girlfriend another celebrity, former fashion model Karen Green, with their
two children, Daisy 5 and Chad 8. I do not recommend this book, but if you do read it and turn out
to enjoy it, please enlighten me as to what I missed as I fought falling asleep reading these boring

weighty tome at numerous different angles for prolonged periods of time as you endeavour to read
text which is upside down, back to front and shoots vertically or diagonally up and down the page,

sleep schedule, already astoundingly bad, became even more irregular and bizarro. We discovered in
her letter incidences of suffocating love combined with questionable accidents, which Johnny and
Pelafina declared were accidents. Johnny made his journey through the maze caused by his complex
love relationship with his mother. His filming of the house shows his sense of aesthetic and

Danielewski, a.k.a. Poe. House of Leaves, Danielewski's first novel, has gained a considerable cult
following. Danielewski is the progenitor of what I hope will be an entire movement: the
metaphysical horror novel, where horrible ideas are explored with nauseous dread. It's about a
mysterious hallway that suddenly appears in the house of an unsuspecting family. It makes you work,
and what you get out of it depends largely on how much work you're willing to do. When the
characters are experiencing some disorientation, you will too; when the characters are traveling
deeper and deeper into the unknown, the words on the page become more and more sparse, requiring
more and more turns of the page to continue. We had to cut the audio and redub it in the studio.
Karen lost her sex drive after encountering the claustrophobic hallway and Will became driven to
explore and document. It's the House of Leaves category in MZD's forums. Subsequently after
completing HOL I signed up for it easily because although I would love to share the (albeit minimal)
amount of codes I actually did manage to decipher here on GR, I wouldn't want to spoil anything for
people about to read it first-hand. Even to simplify it into just two plots isnt really doing it justice.
And the funniest thing I left right for the end - because of its crazy layout the book is smaller on the
inside than it appears from the outside. Once started, the inquiry to understand the difference in
measurement takes on its own momentum. Unfortunately, it doesn’t contain any of the amazingly
beautiful prose or “new sincerity” of David Foster Wallace ’s writing, but it has other qualities that
make it very interesting. It makes a case of molding the form like clay-doh; a book is stationary no
more. (!!) You open the book and a dissection, an exploration is made. You see, Chapter VI is about
labyrinths.the structure, history, nature, philosophical meaning, and so forth of labyrinths in general
as well as the fact that the house both is and is in a labyrinth.but the best thing about Chapter VI -
the labyrinth chapter - is that it is itself a labyrinth in which it is fully intended that the reader get
lost. So off I go to Appendix II. (Jess - I now have two bookmarks permanently in the book and one

Especially in a lengthy novel, like this one, authors should be aware that readers are making long
term relationship with their novels, and should be reassured that this long term relationship is a
worthy one. It is a primary colour and therefore is at the root of many other colours and could be
interpreted as a starting point. The Haunting of Hill House incidentally, is probably one of the best
and loneliest books out there if you ever want to delve deep into (again) themes of a house, but one
that is evil, that latches onto the protagonist and won’t let go. Much like the choices faced by the
people exploring the inner corridors of the house, you will be forced to pick your own path through
the book and once you have done that there is no turning back or you will have to start from scratch.

Johnny Truant, a misanthrope who lives a rather unremarkable life and exists mostly to try and
convince you of the novel's terrifying qualities: he goes on and on about how encountering the essay
altered his life forever. Eventually I gotta say that JT and his pal Lude and his sexual fixations and
his loony mother and his fights and his whole depressed, defeated and miserable schtick just serve to
capsize what was otherwise an interesting and almost bold satire. The internet is awash with web
pages and forums dedicated to HoL and the discussion of coded meanings.
Footnotes in this book often have their own footnotes (often concerning material appearing hundreds
of pages later) and are a giant sandbox for Danielewski to play in. Truant is a safety net for the
reader that is quickly torn away from them and spinning off into his own narratives. It is heavily
footnoted, sometimes with made up citations to other literary commentaries on the Navidson
Record, sometimes references to non-fiction articles or films, and sometimes with multi-page stories
told by Johnny about something tangentially related to the topic at hand or comments by the fake
editor about the book itself. He has his fun with those who read these scrupulously - at one point

therefore Johnny has lived in Paris and traveled around Europe; sources are quoted in German and
not always translated, and also in Latin and other languages; one can only imagine what the author
must have felt when he was discovering LitCrit 101 and browsing academic journals. I think these

When I finished it, I thought I was unsatisfied with the ending, but it lived in me long after I closed
the book. On other pages he only includes a few words per page or cramps the text into a corner in
order to create a sense of agoraphobia or claustrophobia, but it serves no real purpose. He has an

I’m glad I had, and I have to admire the dedication and exacting nature it must’ve taken to bring
something like this to life -- it definitely rewards attention to detail -- but, having read it, I have no
desire to read it again. Although footnotes having their own footnotes is interesting, it's going to take
me a while to get used to tracking them and then getting back to the narrative. This is for me, for my
own sanity and clarity of thought which has been somewhat muddied in the reading process. The
story is this: a family moves into a home and begins noticing physical features of their house
changing. They begin to explore unimaginable and physically impossible depths and unlock horrors
they never could have conceived. In some passages, the words are confined in boxes, columns,
upside down, mirror reflections, or alone on the page. There is more to spacing than the obvious
theme of the odd spacing of the house in which its inside space is larger than the outside space, and
the emanations of the empty hallways. His sister also contributed - she's called Poe and her album is

look at a sample of what you're expected to wade through. Soon footnotes take up many pages
wildly interrupting the story to detail Truants now rapidly deteriorating mental state and life. The
moment where he hits that statue and drives with it on top of the tank alone made it worthy of at
least two Oscars. It's about the story of the book about a film about a house, but let's not
overcomplicate things. By the way, as far as I can tell, there's no explanation for why this fake story
of a Twilight Zone house is driving the tattoo artist, Johnny, slowly insane. So what does it mean in
the context of House of Leaves. Will Navidson, is a brave man, wants to explore the building, not a
wise idea. On the other side of that door could be a drug overdose, suicide attempt, food poisoning
or any other host of problems we're warned about as RAs. But if those who praise this novel are
serious, this will be the death of art. I was very interested in the Navidson Record and the
presentation of a multi dimensional qualitative space. Each year was different and included features
such as large-scale shadows, music, and performances from actors such as Betsy Brandt (Breaking
