S. (Ship of Theseus)

For the reader who already owns novels and would rather be handed an object from an archive.

Oddity 1 is familiar. 5 is genuinely strange.

A novel printed as a library book, stuffed with margin notes, letters, and loose inserts you have to keep in order.

Three reasons

  1. The inserts are the point. This is a book that cannot be skimmed as a file.
  2. Two stories run at once: the novel, and the people arguing in the margins.
  3. The link is the Mulholland hardcover, which is the edition that actually contains the paper extras.
