Though Truant attributes Zampanò as the author of The Navidson Record, Truant offers few concrete details about Zampanò's character or past, citing only information learned from his former acquaintances. These include neighbors and various students and social workers, exclusively female, who volunteered as readers for Zampanò's research. Unable to even determine Zampanò's full name, Truant only confirms that Zampanò became blind some time during the 1950s, and was approximately eighty years old at the time of his death. Truant also learns that Zampanò was erratic and capricious in his lifestyle and writing habits, diagnosing him with graphomania. Enter the Abandoned Wing and weave through the paths of books and bookcases until reuniting with Nora, Damian, and Zachary.

The Book of Leaves is an enigmatic and mysterious tome, that Leonardo and many key characters thinks might change the known history albeit in different perspectives and for which he and his friends set on a challenging journey and face many dangers. The Book is supposedly hidden in the Vault of Heaven on a foreign continent unknown to the Old World - the New World (America continent).

Bemong, Nele (January 2003), "Exploration #6: The Uncanny in Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves", Image [&] Narrative: Online Magazine of the Visual Narrative, vol.5, ISSN 1780-678X What or, rather, who do we all remember when we hear the word “Renaissance”? Undoubtedly, Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the names that come to mind first. As one of the most significant artists of the age, Da Vinci surely etched his name in golden letters on the leaves of history books. Pressman, Jessica (Spring 2006), " House of Leaves: Reading the Networked Novel", Studies in American Fiction, vol.34, no.1, pp.107–128, ISSN 0091-8083Parallel to the plot of the Record, Truant's footnotes document his descent into obsession, delusions, and paranoia as he compiles the manuscript. He recounts tales of sexual encounters, his lust for a tattooed dancer he calls Thumper, and his bar-hopping with his friend Lude. Truant also writes about his childhood living with an abusive foster father. Even as he grows increasingly unstable, Truant remains steadfast in his editorial work, neglecting all else.
