Nell'appartamento Johnny trova un manoscritto del vecchio costituito da innumerevoli pezzetti di carta, molti dei quali strappati. Il precedente inquilino, un uomo vecchio e cieco di nome Zampanó, é morto da poco in maniera alquanto inspiegabile, visitato a casa da qualcosa di inquietante. Johnny Truant, un ragazzo che guadagna da vivere lavorando in uno tatoo-studio, si trasferisce in un nuovo appartamento. Per chi non conoscesse la storia, eccovela qui: L'ho letto per la prima volta diversi anni fa (ho avuto la fortuna di trovarlo in biblioteca) e solo nel 2014 ho trovato per volere del cielo il giorno del mio compleanno in un negozio di antiquariato qui in Germania una copia in tedesco di questo libro magnifico. Il mio libro preferito é Casa di Foglie di Mark Z. Partly out of habit, but also sensing that nobody would ever believe his story, Navidson captured everything on film … ( more) And the hallway did not just remain a hallway-it was growing rapidly, and there was a deep growl emanating from the darkness that was unlike anything he'd ever heard. He learned that the inside of the house was larger than the outside. This prompted Navidson, ever the pragmatist, to do some measurements. Navidson discovered what at first seemed like an odd prank perpetrated by a psychotic carpenter: Behind a closet door, a hallway with smooth black walls had suddenly appeared. The filmmaker had just moved his family into a house on Ash Tree Lane and hadn't even had the chance to unpack before the strangeness began. Zampano's manuscript is a critique of a documentary film called "The Navidson Record," by Pulitzer Prize-winning filmmaker Will Navidson. The novel intertwines the narratives of two haunted individuals: Zampano, a blind man whose strange manuscript is found in his apartment when he dies, and Johnny Truant, the tome's discoverer and narrator of House of Leaves. It is also the story of a seemingly normal house gone wild. This is a multilayered intersection of wild ideas, ten years in the making, from Mark Danielewski.
