Signed in person by Danielewski at a book store, where he discussed the experience of sitting around his table with his spouse after the birth of his new-born, painting blue kite after blue kite in a meditative state, as he transitioned into the sometimes overwhelming experience of new fatherhood. A special gift or edition for any of his readers.
Long time readers of Danielewski will recognize his unconventional approach to text as it’s written on the page. Inside the cover, Danielewski writes, “There are at least three ways to read [this book]. The first takes only a few minutes. Just follow the rainbow. In fact, if you have a little extra time, you can read it right now. The second takes only a little bit longer. Just follow the words haloed with blue and red and the rainbow words too. For the third way, just start at the beginning.”
Danielewski’s “House of Leaves” became a cult classic and still has a stronghold of devoted readers. He collaborated with his sister, the talented musician Poe, for her 2000 album “Haunted.” Like writer Andre Norton, rumors abound about Danielewski being a cat lover.
