A Debut That Defies Convention

House of Leaves

House of Leaves

Mark Z. Danielewski's first novel is not the kind of book you pick up and quietly forget. Shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award, a prize celebrating fresh voices across both fiction and non-fiction, it announced its author as someone willing to push the novel form into genuinely strange territory. The Award's accompanying coverage includes critical reviews, excerpts from the shortlisted titles, and a range of online resources, alongside reader polls and discussion boards where the conversation continues well beyond the final page.
