House of Leaves

China, IL, I would like to hear more about Zampano and Johnnys cause being the same. What did you talk about in your class? I equip with most of the contri scarceors here that there is a lot of evidence in favor of Zampano and Johnny being the same person, although even the examples themselves (including mine, below) get dressedt really give much away as a dissolving agent of the complicated narrative structure.In my class, my professor draws a diagram every(prenominal) day with concentric circles, the space between each pair of circles representing a different narrator dictating the actions of the narrator within his narrative, and so on. For example, The Navidson Record is in the center, Zampano encircles The N. R. , Zampanos reading assistants/volunteers encircle Zampano, Truant encircles Zampanos readers, and the Editors encircle Truant. This doesnt even include Johnnys mother, another potential author.To compensate a long story very short, anybody could have written anythi ng, and the errors and typos dont helpthey become it even more confusing. Take for case page 320. Near the top, in the second paragraph, Zampano writes, Regrettably, turkey cock fails to stop at a sip. A few hours later he has finished attain the whole fifth as well as half a bottle of wine. He might have spent all darkness drinking had exhaustion not caught up with me. This should read caught up with him but instead suddenly switches to the first person.This could mean several things 1) Zampano made a Freudian slip and referred to himself here even though he didnt drink 2) Johnny has been writing the Navidson Record all along and slipped (it would make more sense since he, like Tom, depends on drugs and alcohol to function) 3) Johnny did it deliberately just to screw with us 4) (and this is a stretch) Maybe theyre Navidsons words. If Navidson was real, it would make sense that he would make an error because the subject of Tom is so painful to him What do other people think?
