Mark Z. Danielewski

Only Revolutions (Pantheon)
There’s no mistaking a novel by Mark Danielewski for any other. This new one can be read forward, backward and upside down. It has multi-colored inks; two sewn-in bookmarks (green and gold); and a circular structure. Here, we explore how the book’s design reflects the joy-ride/killing spree of its two perpetual teenagers as they careen through time and space.
