Description

 							
  
  Had The Blair Witch Project been a
book instead of a film, and had it been written by, say, Nabokov at his most playful, revised by Stephen King at his
most cerebral, and typeset by the futurist editors of Blast at their most avant-garde, the result might have been
something like House of Leaves. Mark Z. Danielewski's first novel has a lot going on: notably the discovery of a
pseudoacademic monograph called The Navidson Record, written by a blind man named Zampanò, about a nonexistent
documentary film--which itself is about a photojournalist who finds a house that has supernatural, surreal qualities.
(The inner dimensions, for example, are measurably larger than the outer ones.) In addition to this Russian-doll
layering of narrators, Danielewski packs in poems, scientific lists, collages, Polaroids, appendices of fake
correspondence and "various quotes," single lines of prose placed any which way on the page, crossed-out passages, and
so on. 
  Now that we've reached the post-postmodern era, presumably there's nobody left who needs liberating from
the strictures of conventional fiction. So apart from its narrative high jinks, what does House of Leaves have to offer?
According to Johnny Truant, the tattoo-shop apprentice who discovers Zampanò's work, once you read The Navidson
Record,
  
  For some reason, you will no longer be the person you believed you once were. You'll detect slow
and subtle shifts going on all around you, more importantly shifts in you. Worse, you'll realize it's always been
shifting, like a shimmer of sorts, a vast shimmer, only dark like a room. But you won't understand why or how.
 

  We'll have to take his word for it, however. As it's presented here, the description of the spooky film isn't
continuous enough to have much scare power. Instead, we're pulled back into Johnny Truant's world through his footnotes,
which he uses to discharge everything in his head, including the discovery of the manuscript, his encounters with people
who knew Zampanò, and his own battles with drugs, sex, ennui, and a vague evil force. If The Navidson Record is a mad
professor lecturing on the supernatural with rational-seeming conviction, Truant's footnotes are the manic student in
the back of the auditorium, wigged out and furiously scribbling whoa-dude notes about life. 
  Despite his flaws,
Truant is an appealingly earnest amateur editor--finding translators, tracking down sources, pointing out incongruities.
Danielewski takes an academic's--or ex-academic's--glee in footnotes (the similarity to David Foster Wallace is almost
too obvious to mention), as well as other bogus ivory-tower trappings such as interviews with celebrity scholars like
Camille Paglia and Harold Bloom. And he stuffs highbrow and pop-culture references (and parodies) into the novel with
the enthusiasm of an anarchist filling a pipe bomb with bits of junk metal. House of Leaves may not be the prettiest or
most coherent collection, but if you're trying to blow stuff up, who cares? --John Ponyicsanyi
  
  From
Publishers Weekly
  
  Danielewski's eccentric and sometimes brilliant debut novel is really two novels,
hooked together by the Nabokovian trick of running one narrative in footnotes to the other. One-the horror story-is a
tour-de-force. Zampano, a blind Angelino recluse, dies, leaving behind the notes to a manuscript that's an account of a
film called The Navidson Report. In the Report, Pulitzer Prize-winning news photographer Will Navidson and his
girlfriend move with their two children to a house in an unnamed Virginia town in an attempt to save their relationship.
One day, Will discovers that the interior of the house measures more than its exterior. More ominously, a closet
appears, then a hallway. Out of this intellectual paradox, Danielewski constructs a viscerally frightening experience.
Will contacts a number of people, including explorer Holloway Roberts, who mounts an expedition with his two-man crew.
They discover a vast stairway and countless halls. The whole structure occasionally groans, and the space reconfigures,
driving Holloway into a murderous frenzy. The story of the house is stitched together from disparate accounts, until the
experience becomes somewhat like stumbling into Borges's Library of Babel. This potentially cumbersome device actually
enhances the horror of the tale, rather than distracting from it. Less successful, however, is the second story
unfolding in footnotes, that of the manuscript's editor, (and the novel's narrator), Johnny Truant. Johnny, who
discovered Zampano's body and took his papers, works in a tattoo parlor. He tracks down and beds most of the women who
assisted Zampano in preparing his manuscript. But soon Johnny is crippled by panic attacks, bringing him close to
psychosis. In the Truant sections, Danielewski attempts an Infinite Jest-like feat of ventriloquism, but where Wallace
is a master of voices, Danielewski is not. His strength is parodying a certain academic tone and harnessing that to pop
culture tropes. Nevertheless, the novel is a surreal palimpsest of terror and erudition, surely destined for cult
status. (Mar.)
