内容简介
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.

精彩书评
"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."—

但是,中文出版的学生二人字体实在…汗。原版很好,两种字体区分清晰,一种类似印刷体,一种手写体。而中文版呢,两人字体接近,说实话,别说中华书法博大精深,随便用个楷书和行书就可以轻松搞定啦,也完全符合原著二人字体式样。结果出版社偏偏用了两位字体没多大变化,样式也差不多的(Jen字体也远不及原版清秀漂亮),这样的中文版Eric和Jen字体单靠颜色区别,到后面读书找线索时候非常不方便,反而增加了本来完全没有必要的辨别时间。我是看了两个版本,但还是觉得中文版真心不如读英文版清晰。真的非常可惜!…真心希望出版社不要草率,能像原版出版社一样,精益求精。如果有机会,希望再版可以改善字体。
