Interpretation During Books S.

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 rumours 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. It is also Abrams and Dorst’s love letter to the written word.

Article About Books S.

This is one of the most beautifully-presented works of fiction Ive ever seen. Its also really quite boring. I should add that I havent finished it, and I probably wont. It has been sitting on my printer for weeks, mocking me. But I cant go back to it! And that makes me sad. Before I can explain why it makes me sad, my first sentence needs a little unpacking and I mean that quite literally. The book itself is a hefty, weathered-looking hardback bearing the title The Ship of Theseus on its spine,

Intellectually intriguing (the story itself, the relationship between readers, the mystery of authorship, the expansion it allows beyond just this single story, reflecting on the self [myself] reviewing it all), artistically appealing (the handwritten notes in the margins and the different colored pens--fantastic!), physically challenging (I was terrified I'd lose an insert--this was a library book), anxiety inducing (MY involvement required for understanding. Pressure!). Fantastic and yet

What a fabulous looking book!How to read this? After some research I came up with this:(view spoiler)[1st - Plain Text, footnotes and maybe the pencilled notes2nd - Black and Blue3rd - Green and Gold4th - Purple and RedLeave the inserted tidbits, where they are. Youll figure out at what point to read them.Trying not to get distracted by the margins and the inserts could be challenging, but I managed to mostly ignore them during my first pass.

I wonder what it's like to be JJ Abrams.Does a trip to the supermarket become a frantic sortie into a grocerian wilderness? Do battles rage between produce and deli, with stalks of celery raining like arrows upon quivering chunks of roast beef and aged Vermont cheddar? Are the pizzas lurking in a control room behind the freezer case, broadcasting shortwave signals that force the croutons, lemminglike, to hurl themselves from the shelves to the floor where they lie, helpless, waiting to be

A tale of S.Inspired by E. A. Poe (modified by A. Reader)During the winter of the year 2013, while residing in Dubai, UAE, I casually made the acquaintance of S.. I gazed at S. wonderingly - bathed in the full knowledge of S.'s origins--Abrams royalty. Conceived by JJ and brought to life by his partner, D Dorst, their imaginations were singularly vigorous and creative. S. no doubt derived additional force in this world from such privileged entry, albeit from a long and arduous labor. S. was

So I think I made a mistake. I read this all in one shot and I don't think that's how I should have read it.J.J. Abrams had a clever idea about reading a book and seeing a couple writing to each other in the margins of the book. He turned to Doug Dorst to pen the story within a story.S. is a story about Jen and Eric reading Ship of Theseus by V.M. Straka. Jen and Eric are trying to figure out who Straka is. (turns out he was a mysterious author with a mysterious past) Ship of Theseus is about a

2.5 Stars S. By J.J. Abrams is a beautiful hardback carefully distressed to look like an old Library book with its old book smell and stuffed full of notes, postcards, papers and bits and pieces. When I received this book in the post I was pleasantly suprised with the faboulus concept and design. I loved the idea and could not wait to start this novel. I loved the margin notes to begin with and was fascinated to see how this story would play out. I have to admit for all its gimmicks I soon
