House of Leaves – Mark Z. Danielewski
Part Five: Chapter IX
The Work
The book is becoming hostile. We’ll have to work together to get through. Among the questions we ask this week: Have you ever ‘cheated’ at a ‘choose your own adventure’ type book or story?
The Guest
Lucas Owens is a writer currently working at BBDO in New York. He has been caving longer than he’s been born! We talk to him about his passion of exploring the voids that twist beneath our feet. You can find Lucas’ commercial writing on his professional website and follow him on instagram @saculsnewo.
Lucas mentions a couple resources:
The National Speleological Society (NSS) at caves.org
The Robertson Association
The Annual Old Timer’s Reunion at otr.org
In Albany, NY the Northeastern Cave Conservatory
Pairings
Aural Stimuli
