House of Leaves

House of Leaves is the debut novel of American novelist Mark Z. Danielewski, released by Pantheon Books in March 2000. It is a best-seller that has been translated into several languages, and it is followed by The Whalestoe Letters, a companion work.

The narrative revolves around a (perhaps fictitious) documentary about a family whose house is impossibly bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. House of Leaves has a distinctive format and structure, as well as an uncommon page layout and aesthetic, making it a classic example of ergodic literature. It is densely packed with footnotes, many of which are footnotes in and of themselves, including references to imaginary books, films, or articles. Some pages, on the other hand, feature only a few words or lines of text, organized in unexpected ways to match the events in the tale, frequently creating an agoraphobic and claustrophobic feel. The book must be turned at times in order to be read. The work is particularly notable for its numerous narrators, who interact in intricate and bewildering ways.
