House of Leaves

China, IL, I would like to hear more about Zampano and greybacks m opposite being the kindred. What did you talk about in your class? I agree with approximately of the contributors here that there is a lot of evidence in favor of Zampano and knot being the same person, although even the examples themselves (including mine, below) dont really give much away as a government issue of the complicated narrative structure.In my class, my professor draws a diagram every day with concentric circles, the lay 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 infix 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 complicate Johnnys mother, another potential author.To restore a long story very short, anybody could capture written anything, and the errors and typos dont helpthey make it even more confusing. Take for instance knave 320. Near the top, in the second paragraph, Zampano writes, Regrettably, Tom fails to stop at a sip. A few hours subsequent he has finished off the whole fifth as well as half a bottle of wine. He might have spent all night 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 make 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 intentionally 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?
