Mark Z. Danielewski has a reputation for pushing the envelope when it comes to writing novels. His debut novel, "House of Leaves," is full of multiple layers, strange typography, and footnotes within footnotes. And his new novel, "The Familiar," will consist of 27 volumes, two or three which will be published every year. Danielewski compares "The Familiar" to a TV series.
Intelligent. Optimistic. Curious.
