VIDEO

This is a link to the author reading the book on youtube.

I actually thought it took away from the book when he was reading it.It sounded boring and typical when he read it when it is really one of a kind. I wonder if he went crazy writing the book I can imagine going crazy between these 2 stories going on the same time and freaking out over where my brain is taking me thinking up this sick stuff.

The link does not work. Just letting you know.

I did, however, find a few examples of Danielewski reading his work, and I agree with you to an extent. Part of the problem is that he is a terrible performer. (One of the many reasons why I hate in-store readings is that the author usually sucks at reading aloud to an audience). Also, I don't think this is the sort of work that can be read aloud. It's far too complex for that sort of treatment.

yes, listening to author's read their works--especially when they are like this, is always for me a bit disappointing...especially if the author is an egomaniac...
