5/9/2023 0 Comments Ship of theseus novel![]() ![]() ![]() The core book – ‘The Ship of Theseus’ – is a whole story in itself – and its title is based on a paradox. Just as those things were, this book is now a treasured possession, even though I feel I’ve barely scraped its surface yet. ![]() When I opened it, I got the same feeling as when I used to browse my favourite antique/junk shop as a teenager, picking up a box brownie for five quid, an old suitcase, even a World War 2 gas mask. ‘The Ship of Theseus’, or ‘S’ as the wider project is known, is the creation of filmmaker, J.J Abrams and writer, Doug Dorst, and it’s a book to get excited about. It’s a work of art, and I’d never seen anything like it before. I’ve categorised it as an ‘Odd Book’, but it’s the best kind of odd. My favourite find by miles is an extraordinary one. But being surrounded by thousands of tempting second-hand books for a whole six hours means that I never go home empty-handed and my wages are always a little depleted! Sometimes I get to look after Molly’s Little Bookshop for a day, and it’s always a treat. ![]()
