I read that book right after taking like English 400: Theory and Criticism, so I was like “yeah it has footnotes but doesn’t every book have footnotes?” Then I recommended it to a friend who hadn’t read a book more complex than harry potter in 20 years, and her brain like caught fire.
Entered the comments just to suggest reading House of Leaves.
I knew my people were out there!
I’ll have to admit that I never got very far in it, but what I did read, I really liked. One day I’ll finish it… one day…
Same.
