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.
