I met Danielewski at a book signing for Only Revolutions, and I mentioned that I couldn't tell if House of Leaves was meant to be a modern attempt at synthesizing a number of existing ideas (hypertextual narratives, deconstruction (from Derrida), etc...), or if it was mocking the pretension of these things? Or both, simultaneously?
