读过《S.》 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
因为据说要读特别久，所以决定春节假期开始读它一个月，不成想春节假期里就读完了……故事本身不复杂，但是塑造的人物其实都很有意思，构成了书中人物、作者译者、两个读者三条线交织又互相关联的结构，读两个读者的第一轮互动可能是最有趣的。一开始听到的很多评论是情节很无聊解谜才是重点，实操之后感觉不然，解谜是可选项，情节本身并不是惊人地好但是充分利用了这本书特别的形式，人物故事也很丰富，值得读。腹诽可能是1. 最后又不能免俗地成了爱情故事有点失望 2. Jen的字儿有时候真的很难认啊
S. [Book] Douban Goodreads
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 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.
