What is that book where on earth it adjectives starts to run together as he go insane?
Okay, so I know there is this book in which it all starts out grammatically correct and such, but as it go on, the narrator becomes more and more insane and the writing becomes more and more incorrect until it adjectives just runs together into one word. What is it's title?
Answers:
Sorry, I own no idea. Who wrote it?
This sounds oddly familiar for some function, though I'm sure I haven't read this book. I hope someone knows, because now I really want to read it! Sorry I can't help.
House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski
Danielewski's eccentric and sometimes brilliant debut novel is really two novel, 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 at the rear the notes to a manuscript that's an account of a film call 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 surrounded by 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 corridor. 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 beyond measure 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 close to stumbling into Borges's Library of Babel. This potentially cumbersome device actually enhances the horror of the tale, a bit 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. Source(s): http://www.amazon.com/House-Leaves-Mark-…
