“The first novel from Doug Dorst and director J. J. Abrams, S was conceived as a literary mystery box. A young woman picks up a stranger’s stolen library book and discovers margin notes revealing a reader entranced by its story and author. Responding with her own notes, a conversation and a mysterious adventure begins. The book comes sealed in a black foil-stamped slipcase. After breaking the seal, one discovers more than 20 pieces of ephemera tucked inside, including a map drawn on a napkin, postcards, photos, letters and a decoder wheel that provide clues.”
