Equal parts Kafka and Lovecraft, Ship of Theseus is both a frightening adventure and a philosophical treasure hunt. Two things sustain him: his lifelong search for his love, Sola and the infernal purpose of the ship and its crew. Abducted onto the eponymous ship, the main character is swept into a story that spans oceans and ports, mountains and caves, capitals and citadels. It tells the mystical adventure of an equally mysterious figure, who is struggling to discover his own identity. Ship of Theseus is at its core and is the final book written by a man shrouded in deception and violence. Abrams and written by acclaimed novelist Doug Dorst, Ship of Theseus is the central novel within the experience that is S., a multi-faceted narrative of love and mystery. What is Ship of Theseus, and who is its mysterious author V.M. Award-winning actor Graeme Malcolm reads the work of an incendiary novelist who may never have existed at all. Because an audio edition is unable to recreate those innately visual pieces of the story and the intended experience of S., the text of Ship of Theseus has been recorded here. Abrams and Doug Dorst conceived of a multi-layered novel-within-a-novel that involves handwritten notes in the margins and physical objects slipped between the pages.
