The House of William T. Frehling

This book has no plot. It does have a deep surrealistic narrative filled with carefully planned story twists complex symbolism political intrigue and self-referential satire but that implies nothing about a plot. Rangsey Aaronson just out of grad school with a useless art history Ph.D. is moving into a new house and needs to get some of his papers signed by the landlord William T. Frehling. However entering his landlord's office transports him into a strange alternate universe contained in the confines of one enormous mansion. And what's worse Frehling is nowhere to be found. Rangsey befriends a resident of the house named Tara and with her he sets off on a quest to find Frehling within this enormous acid trip finding themselves in a series of completely inconsequential situations along the way while constantly being hunted by a man with three eyes under his nose named well the man with three eyes under his nose.
