Thoughts on House of Leaves

Overview

This book really shines in how its physically structured with the story told in the footnotes of footnotes and appendices. It’s meant to emulate a non-fiction book while also telling (at least) two different stories that have different parallels to one another. If this book could be summarized, its vibe is layers.
