Friend of mine is way into his work and when we chat about his latest book I'm always reminded of how draining his shtick can be to actually read. This is all said with the utmosts respect as he approaches literature in a way I find fascinating.

I don’t remember the name of the book he published after House of Leaves but you had to read a chapter, flip it and read a chapter from a different perspective. Was a chore and the story, so far as I got, was pretty boring.

That book is up to part 4, I think and every book follows the same flip method. The aforementioned mate loves them, I get tired just hearing about them. But he went to art college which may explain it.

I cannot speak to the English translations (although in my experience German→Norwegian works a lot better than German→English), but there's two well known ones, and I haven't really heard anything bad about them.
