Faux-aged and camouflaged as an ex-library book published in 1949 and heavily annotated with margin notes in the hands two fictitious readers (which forms a separate mystery overlaid on the narrative). This comedic homage to travel literature and pseudo-academic prose will not fail to delight. Contains 24 fictitiously "laid-in" items between the pages: post-cards, news clippings, epistles, loose notes, business cards. From the publisher's promotional statement: "The book: Ship of Theseus, the final novel by a prolific but enigmatic writer named V.M.
