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."—

但是,中文齣版的學生二人字體實在…汗。原版很好,兩種字體區分清晰,一種類似印刷體,一種手寫體。而中文版呢,兩人字體接近,說實話,彆說中華書法博大精深,隨便用個楷書和行書就可以輕鬆搞定啦,也完全符閤原著二人字體式樣。結果齣版社偏偏用瞭兩位字體沒多大變化,樣式也差不多的(Jen字體也遠不及原版清秀漂亮),這樣的中文版Eric和Jen字體單靠顔色區彆,到後麵讀書找綫索時候非常不方便,反而增加瞭本來完全沒有必要的辨彆時間。我是看瞭兩個版本,但還是覺得中文版真心不如讀英文版清晰。真的非常可惜!…真心希望齣版社不要草率,能像原版齣版社一樣,精益求精。如果有機會,希望再版可以改善字體。
