From religion to ethics

the disruption of the infinite

Renée van Riessen(Academy of Creative and Performing Arts , Universiteit van Amsterdam)

pp. 131-172

Abstrakt

In the novel House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewsky there is a house which, measured from inside, is larger than from the outside. This discrepancy throws the residents off balance, they cannot live with the spatial anomaly and eventually leave the house. The house can apparently contain more than it can really contain, and this difference makes it into a mysterious and ultimately uninhabitable house.
