The Familiar, Volume 1 Wherein the cat is found . . . The Familiar, Volume 2
Wherein the cat is hungry . . . From the universally acclaimed, genre-busting
author of House of Leaves comes the second volume of The Familiar, a “novel
[which] goes beyond the experimental into the visionary, creating a language
and style that expands the horizon of meaning . . . hint[ing] at an evolved
form of literature.” In The Familiar, Volume 2: Into the Forest, the lives of
the disparate and dynamic nine characters introduced in “One Rainy Day in May”
begin to intersect in inexplicable ways, finding harmonies and echoes in each
other. What once seemed remote and disconnected draws closer—slowly,
steadily—toward something inevitable. . . . At the center of it all is
Xanther, a twelve-year-old girl, for whom the world around her seems to be
opening, exposing doors and windows, visions and sounds, questions and ideas
previously unknown. With each passing day, she begins to glimpse something she
does not understand but unequivocally craves—the only thing that will bring
her relief and keep her new friend alive. (With full-color illustrations
