Sumario:The article presents a literary criticism of Mark Z. Danielewski's novel, "One Rainy Day in May." The author discusses the novel as tending towards the epic through its narrative complexity and intricacy, and says that in many respects, it is typical of what readers have come to expect from Danielewski. The author also discusses the novel's persistent attention to affect, and says that it is extravagant in its demands on the reader's patience and attention but is well worth the reader's time.
