the house of leaves by mark z danielewski

There are parts meant to make you feel claustrophobic and also agoraphobic. The book House of Leaves follows Zampanò Johnny Truant and Will Navidson and his family who all are affected by this house that is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. The format of the book (after a while) becomes erratic and confusing. The story of Johnny often doesn't really go with what was being referenced in the footnotes. There are mentions of appendices that are in and of themselves confusing to follow.

The book is written and told through footnotes often compounding onto each other. The outermost is the tale of Johnny Truant who then finds the works of Zampanò who is critiquing Will Navidson's documentary. Danielewski, published in March 2000 by Pantheon Books.
