 Item
Identifier: CC-37342-39194
Scope and Contents

The letters are from Danielewski's monumental novel, "House of Leaves," published as a separate work that demonstrates a mother's love for her son. The letters are written by the fictional character, Pelatina H. Lieve to her son Johnny Truant. The typography changes and fluctates as the mental status of Pelatina deteriorates. These letters are just one of many levels of creative, experimental fiction in Danielewski's remarkable story.
