Hey, /lit/. So, I've been reading house of leaves by mark z. Danielewski. I was looking at the various editions that exist and found out that the true first edition was not actually printed.
Mark released the book on the internet originally, missing a few chapters and unedited. After the book achieved a cult following, it was released on print. This is edited, has all the chapters, and is considered the second edition.
My question, does anyone have the original work released on the internet? The official first edition?

Pretty sure Danielewski took down the chapters before he put the book into print. So I doubt anyone has them.

>> No.4965494

>>4965477
Well, I heard that the chapters were available for download, which is how they were passed around and how the work achieved it's cult status.

Trying to comprehend this book is like trying to understand another dimension.
"This is not for you."
We should have never picked it up in the first place.
Fuck.

I knew this comment was coming and I'm happy that you decided to step up to the plate and be this guy. Are you generally that necessary autistic dude who shows up? Also describe the feeling of compulsively having to post such an obvious comment that anyone saw coming miles off. Is it a sort of pain...? I really must know.

This post reminds me of Pynchon in that it's much longer than it needs to be and it has no content.

You're so buttmad about that vacuous hipster garbage that you're delusional. Now that's buttmad.

So is this really all Pynchon detraction boils down to? It's too long? Obviously some parts of the novel were challenging or puzzling - but I was able to read it without any annotations. The plot wasn't even that complex everybody was either trying to stop or launch a rocket... Why do people find that so difficult?

Sherlock? Is that you? Did you hack my computer?

>>4965740
So the nature of your delusion is actually just that opinions contrary to yours must naturally be so rare that more than one or two in a 48 hour period is evidence of a conspiracy?

>>4965742
You misread the post. Namely by ignoring half of it, and responding erroneously to the other half.

Pynchon is an underread, overrated, Franzen-tier kitsch Americana artist. Sorry if that upsets you because the only real literature you've read was in excerpts from an anthology for a 101 course.

pynchon's fans are high hippies and it's hard to read when you're high

also the plot isn't really about trying to stop or launch a rocket

I like how you think some other random guy in some other random thread having an opinion similar to mine is a caper that you're close to solving because I don't dignify it with a response.
