Mark Z. Danielewski on how culture changes, originality and trying to do something different

This is a great clip from Mark Z. Danielewski ostensibly about “The House of Leaves” and the way that he responds to conversations his readers have about his book, but touches on how important it is to create something different rather than rehash the same thing -along with an amusing swipe at “The Da Vinci Codes.”

Don’t worry about trying to hear the question at the beginning of the clip; he rehashes it.
