The second story involves handwritten notes, postcards, and other loose inserts placed within the physical copy of S. These are the conversations of two college students who use the book to communicate. The pair become obsessed with uncovering the true identity of Straka, a revolutionary figure whose life is shrouded in rumor and mystery. A truly unique literary achievement.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: None,As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. A square solid tight clean carefully read copy. J. J. Abrams and acclaimed novelist Doug Dorst create a reading experience like no other in this dazzling novel of love and mystery. In his first-ever idea for a novel, Abrams conceived of and developed a multi-layered literary puzzle of love and adventure. At its core, we have a book of mysterious provenance. In the margins, another tale unfolds: hand-scribbled notes, questions, and confrontations between two readers. Between the pages, online, and in the real world, you will find evidence of their interaction, ephemera that brings this tale vividly to life. Abrams turned to PENHemingway Award- and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated novelist Doug Dorst, author of the acclaimed novel Alive in Necropolis (Riverhead, 2008) and story collection The Surf Guru (Riverhead, 2010), to write this novel. Together, Abrams' vision and Dorst's expert craftsmanship redefine the novel.
