MZD [4&5/9?]
Two more mp3s of MZD! I am almost done with this series! The next one up is a hugely long one, so I may put up some Tori Amos files in the meantime. The first mp3 today is very short, which I didn’t realize. The second is about Danny Elfman, and the amount of work that went into laying out the pages of Only Revolutions.
MZD Q&A [2&3/9?]
Two more questions answered by MZD. The first has to do with the publication, or republication of his short story The Fifty-Year Sword. The second has to do with the audio recording for Only Revolutions, a book which greatly depends on manipulating the printed page.
Mark Z. Danielewski [1/9?]
More of MZD. This is the first of several questions he answered during his stop at Porter Square Books in Cambridge, MA. It’s an extremely long, meadering answer, but I like his joke about Hollywood.
Transcription below the cut. Text is broke up arbitrarily for easier reading.
MZD- Only Revolutions Book Signing
Mark Z. Danielewski, author of House of Leaves and Only Revolutions, recently embarked on a book tour to promote the paperback version of Only Revolutions.
Before he began reading parts of Only Revolutions, MZD decided to start with a passage from HoL which he felt indicated the beginnings of the ideas for Only Revolutions.
He didn’t have a copy of HoL on him, so instead of taking one of the new bookstore copies, he marked mine up instead.
I’m pretty sure it’s page 399, but since I lent it out to a friend, I can’t check.
The mp3 of the book reading will be up shortly.
