House of Leaves


Listen Later

Ostensibly, House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, is about a young man who finds a manuscript in a dead man's apartment. This experimental novel, released in 2000, takes a cinematic approach to the novel – creating a novel experience in time and space.

The dead man, Zampano, was an elderly blind man writing an academic critique of The Navidson Record; a documentary about a family moving into a home in Virginia, which happens to be bigger on the inside. At the center of Danielewski's work is the question, "What is real?"

Featuring: Zenya Prowell, Stacy Patterson, Lisa Schweitzer, and Jen Bravo
