This is another way of acknowledging that experiences are distorted when organized and put into words. It’s very difficult (perhaps impossible) for the writer to share an experience with the reader using only conventional, sequential text.

Some thing's in writing as in life are like a rock, and some things are like a clock. You get to choose what is more reliable to wake you, as others find a good place to lay their heads.

@@SherdsTube it is not necessary to upload your work under datelines. The net is full of KZitem's creators (some better that others) that keep feeding our emptiness every week. High standard literary appreciation takes time, effort and thinking. I like your analysis and recommendations, if it takes you weeeks to upload, I will be waiting

I really appreciate these kind words. It's very comforting to hear that. You're right, I shouldn't fall into the trap of rushing to meet imaginary deadlines. Still, I've got lots of ideas, so there'll be more soon. Thanks again.

Oh I really could have used this video in 2000! 😂 Reading it was an unforgettable experience, and I loved it (though much of what you discuss was lost on me at the time). When I was young, I was obsessed w the Griffin and Sabine notebooks - the hidden messages, notes tucked into notes, interaction between reader and book. I also love Dali, Apollinaire, and Cummings- so this all fits. You might like Pure Colour by Sheila Heti…I don’t remember too much of form (maybe a bit) but it’s good and weird. The narrator joins her father in another dimension, I’ll leave it at that (another Canadian female author! She too won an award - I mentioned Sarah Bernstein in another comment - I feel more certain after each video that you’ll like Study for Obedience! Admittedly, I know no one who liked it so it is possible that I’m way off! 😅)

I’m enjoying how although I can hear hol and hpl, you’re bringing something else to this. I’m in the middle of H of L….trying to extend it. It does have an ambient pressure and no doubt an echoing structure. I agree this at the source of its and the readers psychodynamic . Alludes not only to the realistic aspects of psychodynamic psychotherapy, but to the early proto existentialist phenomenologists…..human experience as primarily chaotic in desperate need of what u have called the reification

Another excellent episode! Thanks for the great work! I haven't read the book yet, but there was an excellent BBC Radio 4 drama based on the story, have you heard this? It's called ''Recordings Recovered from the House of Leaves''.

Thank you! My pleasure. No, I haven't come across that radio drama, so I'll try to seek it out. I've often wondered how this book would translate to another medium.

I enjoyed this video essay. It's stylish and informative. I wasn't aware of House of Leaves, and will now search it out. May I suggest Calvino's If on a Winter's Night ...?

Ha! Yeah, it does a bit. Interestingly, though, that's one of the book's challenges - as I tried to suggest towards the end. :)
