Mark Z. Danielewski | The Familiar, Volume 3: Honeysuckle and Pain

The next volume in Mark Z. Danielewski’s latest, most ambitious undertaking arrives: The Familiar, Volume 3: Honeysuckle and Pain finds “America’s foremost literary Magus” (New York Times) continuing his wildly inventive, interwoven saga of fateful decisions and perilous sacrifice.

Released for the summer from the perils of school, Xanther and her nameless cat are settling into a comfortable routine at home. However, the rest of the Ibrahim family is growing more and more unsettled. Astair fears their stretched finances are already at a breaking point. Not even a visit from an old friend can mitigate Anwar’s feeling that he’s failing to support those he loves and that even worse things are to come. The twins, Freya and Shasti, sense something too and blame their older sister. Honeysuckles haunt the air and smell of offerings . . . Meanwhile, Cas and Bobby’s survival may depend on facing the one person they fear most. And on the other side of the world, Jingjing and Tian Li set out to find what was lost: their missing cat.

Don’t miss this chance to hear from the author of House of Leaves, Only Revolutions, and the burgeoning, epochal story of The Familiar.
