![]() This text is based upon a film of the same name, Will Navidson’s documentary detailing his frightening and bizarre experiences in his new house.Įnigmatic: the only fitting term to describe the Navidson household. Allow me to explain this the best I can: House of Leaves is the title under which the novel is published, but what you’re actually reading is the academic text titled The Navidson Record, which is written by a fictional man, the blind and now dead Zampanò. If all this sounds a bit confusing, you are not alone. ![]() A pseudo-intellectual account riddled with the footnotes typically found in the expository writing of an intellectual (even the footnotes have footnotes furthermore, convoluted appendices and–an interesting addition in a fictional piece–an index will have you paging back and forth throughout the text, searching for the clues that will enlighten you and keep you on par with the author). ![]() ![]() Danielewski’s House of Leaves is the jarring collision of academia with the world of fiction. ![]()
