內容簡介
One book. Two readers. A world of mystery, menace, and desire.A young woman picks up a book left behind by a stranger. Inside it are his margin notes, which reveal a reader entranced by the story and by its mysterious author. She responds with notes of her own, leaving the book for the stranger, and so begins an unlikely conversation that plunges them both into the unknown.
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.
S., conceived by filmmaker J. J. Abrams and written by award-winning novelist Doug Dorst, is the chronicle of two readers finding each other in the margins of a book and enmeshing themselves in a deadly struggle between forces they don't understand, and it is also Abrams and Dorst's love letter to the written word.

精彩書評
"The best-looking book I've ever seen. . . . The book is so perfectly realized that it's easy to fall under its spell. . . . If you want to write a romantic mystery meta-novel in which two bibliophiles investigate the conspiracy around an enigmatic Eastern European author, you couldn't choose a better team." --Joshua Rothan,
New Yorker,"Impressively smart, engaging . . . Filled with secrets and stories that are endlessly beguiling and inviting . . . Reading S., and trying to decode everything [was] an incredibly enjoyable, fun experience, as well as a particularly immersive one. . . . For all its mysteries and intrigues, this is a book about the value of books, and what they can offer us that other storytelling mediums cannot." --
Wired,"
S. is gorgeous, a masterpiece of verisimilitude. . . . The book's spiritual cousin is A.S. Byatt's
Possession. . . . The brilliance of
S. is less in its showy exterior than the intimate and ingeniously visual way it shows how others' words become pathways to our lives and relationships." --
Washington Post,"Both as literature and as a physical object, S. is a profound and tremendous work of art. . . . Brilliantly conceived and perfectly executed, the book harkens back to a golden age of storytelling. . . . An audacious literary achievement that calls to mind Vladimir Nabokov's
Pale Fire, Chris Ware's
Building Stories and even Charles Portis'
Masters of Atlantis." --
Miami Herald,"Reading
S. is fun, and the book feels alive . . . Gloriously embroidered with marginalia and jammed with artifacts inserted between its pages . . . A celebration of the book as a physical thing." --
Chicago Tribune,"Both as literature and as a physical object,
S. is a profound and tremendous work of art."—

另外,在書中第八章·領地中存在幾處錯誤,導緻在破解密碼時無法順利進行。活生生讓我對自己産生瞭懷疑。錯誤如下:三處為不該上浮的文字,一處為手寫字缺少“任何”二字。白璧微瑕啊……

這本書是美國的J. J.和道斯特兩人一起創作而成。十多年前,J. J. 在旅途中看到一本陌生人留下的書,扉頁寫著:“看完請留給下一個讀者。”J. J.開始想象一本書能通過何種形式,連接起兩個素未謀麵的讀者。《S.》的構想誕生瞭。2011年,J. J. 去找道斯特,兩人攜手創作瞭這本書。“手寫留言”的敘事手法是J. J. 的創意,而熱愛文學的男女主角的性格設定則是齣自道斯特。
