i don't understand why house of leaves is understood as difficult.
it is not a conventional narrative---do you have to have those trappings to enjoy interacting with a book?
if the narrator dissolves as the story unfolds, does it not follow that things would become confused past a certain point?
personally, i thought the book interesting, but quickly found the voice in the footnotes irritating because the writing was, to my mind, sloppy. whether you see that as a device or not is maybe interesting--i haven't read any other stuff by danielewski, though. has anyone else checked out what he's put out since?
redlemon: that piece is great.
