    “S.” by Doug Dorst is in itself a fake novel, where the “real” story takes place as handwritten notes in the margins to form the complete story, the fake novel itself just a prop. But reading the novel-within-a-novel-that-is-the-novel “Ship of Thesus” by itself is an interesting short surreal read.
