We read chapters 20 and 21, noting the variations in typography and the various ways Danielewski creates a sense of dread and alienation as one of its main characters, Navidson, explores the house alone in Exploration #5. Navidson enters the house alone and experiences a complete breakdown of reality in the labyrinth. Ben noted parallels in Navidson's psychological state to the void and weird manifestations experienced in the house. We discussed Navidson's sensory deprivation and his physical decline as all of the electronic equipment, flashlights, and flares he prepared fail, leaving him in total darkness. Ben found it interesting when, in pitch black, Navidson finds he is carrying a copy of the book House of Leaves. We ended our session discussing the void when, after burning the last page of the book, he describes a sensation of floating or falling in a void where direction becomes irrelevant. I pointed out the asymmetrical typography which mirrored this feeling of disorientation. At the end of the chapter, we both noted that The Navidson Record ends with a tiny "fleck of blue light" in the darkness, which we think might be the flashlight of his wife, Karen Green We'll see if our suspicions are correct when we continue reading tomorrow.
