your thread's a meme.
>>
Yes.

I enjoyed it. The narrator is one of the most unreliable I've ever read, but that's the point.

i like how basically the whole work is about a crazy old man's imaginary account of an event that didn't happen

makes it extra spooky

All literature is meme literature

I liked it, my friends who are lit majors and read it for classes all liked it. The biggest criticism I heard was someone saying the format seemed a bit gimmicky but that's it.

Are there any books that are similar? I'm trying to get into some more horror

That russian Minotaur one. Cant remember the name right now
>>
It's gimmicky as hell and not really strictly /lit/ but, really, what is, and it's a fun read (which is certainly a better way to spend your time than Netflix or any movie that's come out in the past few years, save maybe a few), so if you're asking because youre afraid it's meme status will make it a waste of time, my answer is no.

Asshole.

Considering the sheer amount of work danielewski put in this, i think it would be an insult to not consider it literature.
Even better would be to consider it a metanarrative satire of literary criticism since Zampano is clearly meant to represent a pretentious hipster amateur film/literature critic, often giving obsolete references and digressing to german and claiming an indie film is art simply because it was created by a pulitzer prize winner and all

>and not really strictly /lit/
Wut? There are threads about HoL all the time here. And its a freaking book, how is that not /lit/ related? Or are you only supposed to talk about American High School Curriculum novels?
