Title: I hope this guy is as smart as i'm giving him credit for...
Review: This novel seems to me not at all a suspense thriller or even a tale of the supernatural, but rather a commentary on the difficulties, hang-ups and rediculous situations inherent in writing (or filming) a scholarly work. And for someone who has written quite a few papers... well, I laughed out loud at some of Zampano's conventions (especially the footnotes - how many of us have made up a few to identify some imaginary research of our own??). I was impressed beyond belief by this novel, and give Danielewski an enormous amount of credit for making a statement like this in his first novel. God help him when it comes to writing the second...
