House of Leaves

Studio 360 | Feb 24, 2011

In the book House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski it seems like almost every word has a triple meaning. The story is told from a variety of perspectives in several different typefaces with many footnotes and a 200 page appendix complete with fake critical essays. But the core of House of Leaves is about a family who moves into a small country house in Virginia, where, Mark Danielewski explains, things go wrong. Produced by Jonathan Mitchell.
