From Little Stack
How best to describe S., borne from an idea from movie director (and infamous lover of mysteries and twists) J.J. Abrams and the pen of Doug Dorst. A book-within-a-book, S. is an experience all in itself.
The story you read is called The Ship of Theseus (yes, the same ship as ‘is the ship the same ship if you replace all the parts over time?’ paradox), and is itself a tale of subterfuge and hidden meanings. But within the margins is another story.
Two people – students who are leaving the book for one another to find and comment on – are striving to uncover the life of the mysterious author of The Ship of Theseus, the elusive V.M. Straka. Ominous and tantalizing, S. is like nothing else and comes highly recommended.
This one-of-a-kind bestseller from J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst captures the excitement of solving a mystery like no other book: One book. Two readers. A world of mystery, menace, and desire.
The chronicle of two readers finding each other, and their deadly struggle with forces beyond their understanding — all within the margins of a book conceived by Star Wars director J.J. Abrams and written by award-winning novelist Doug Dorst.
The book: Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M. Straka, in which a man with no past is shanghaied onto a strange ship with a monstrous crew and launched onto a disorienting and perilous journey.
The writer: Straka, the incendiary and secretive subject of one of the world's greatest mysteries, a revolutionary about whom the world knows nothing apart from the words he wrote and the rumors that swirl around him.
The readers: Jennifer and Eric, a college senior and a disgraced grad student, both facing crucial decisions about who they are, who they might become, and how much they're willing to trust another person with their passions, hurts, and fears.
