Description
'House of Leaves' by Mark Z. Danielewski is a Postmodern, Poststructural novel that broke boundaries when it was published in 2000. Twenty four years earlier, in 1976, philosophers Deleuze and Guattari proposed a theoretical model for the ultimate Poststructural book form in their paper 'Introduction to the Rhizome'. In this highly regarded academic paper from 2002, Hazel Stuart puts forward her argument for why Danielewski's 'House of Leaves' can be regarded a novel of truly rhizomatic form.
