Now available in paperback, this is the first book-length study of
Mark Z. Danielewski, an American novelist who is rapidly
establishing himself as a leading figure in the landscape of
contemporary literature. It places his three major works to date,
House of Leaves, The Fifty Year Sword and Only Revolutions, in
their literary-historical context, and considers them alongside the
media platforms which they have inspired, including internet forums
and popular music. Leading critics examine Danielewski's pioneering
novels, generating new insights into their innovative interplay of
word and image. A variety of critical perspectives are adopted,
from the close analysis of the poetic form of Only Revolutions to
the consideration of the effects of his work on the reader.
Danielewski's use of epic tropes is explored, as too is the
relationship of his work to that of his most influential
predecessors (including James Joyce) and his most relevant
contemporaries (including David Foster Wallace). His radical
reappraisal of the dynamic possibilities that the printed book has
to offer in this digital age is a common theme. The book will be of
significant interest to all scholars working on Danielewski, as
well as to students of the American novel, contemporary literature,
and twenty-first century media culture. It will also appeal to
Danielewski's many fans, and all those, who like the contributors
to this volume, have been inspired by his work. -- .
