don't know if any of you actually checked this book out or not, but here's the next phase . . . should be great . . .


The audio for ONLY REVOLUTIONS is at last done and will be available soon on iTunes and other like digital outposts.

Basics go as follows:

Sam’s read by Mark Z Danielewski
Hailey’s read by Alexis Madden
Music by Danny Elfman

There are some bonus tracks including LITTLE RUNAWAY written by Poe when she was a teenager, the REVOLUTIONS OF RUIN everyone was asking about and the Wagnerian ONLY REVOLUTIONS PRELUDE.

is it poetry?

hmmm . . . it's a novel, but it's very poetic novel that's split into 2 parts, sam's story & hailey's story . . . next time you're at the bookstore, just take a look at the book . . . it's awesome.

Like Danielewski's other work, there are multiple narratives with multiple voices.  It definitely is closer to poetry than prose, but it's a long running story nonetheless.  I would definitely recommend reading "House of Leaves" several times before going into "Only Revolutions," though as an avid fan of his I find "Only Revolutions" to be much more complicated and rewarding.  But it takes quite a while to digest.

Let's not forget to mention how awesome Poe is while we're at it. She's brilliant. This fucking family, man. Jesus. What the fuck were they feeding these kids???

Poe... brilliant? Wow... I've never read a more incorrect statement.
