S. El Barco De Teseo by J. J. Abrams

Ship of Theseus

A layered metafiction that unfolds through a found novel and the handwritten marginalia of two readers who trade theories and secrets as they try to unmask a reclusive author's identity. The embedded narrative follows an amnesiac protagonist piecing together who he is while the margin correspondence develops into a parallel detective story, a fraught relationship, and mounting suspicions about conspiracies surrounding the book's creation. Interleaved inserts and visual cues blur fact and fiction, exploring themes of authorship, memory, and the stories people use to construct themselves.
