The Ship of Theseus

Halloween night, 2013. Acclaimed New York sculptor Pablo Navarre isn’t in costume, but he’s still putting on a mask. A career-defining exhibition is looming, the expectations could not be higher—and he has nothing but a studio full of discarded work to show for it. Pablo’s resulting search for inspiration soon turns into an obsession that begins to threaten his career, his marriage, and his sense of who he is.

A radical experiment in digital storytelling

Just as Pablo chases perfection in his artwork, the novel itself will likewise continue to be refined and reimagined over time. Every few months, a new, free update will take the place of the last. Plot points may change, characters may come and go, the very form and structure altered and experimented upon. Each version is designed to stand alone, yet together they form a living, breathing work — gradually transforming into something completely different from where it all began.

Once the book is updated, there is no going back. No archive, no print copy. If you are satisfied with it, you can keep the latest version forever and bring the story to a close for good. But if you’re still searching for something more, you can keep moving forward. The choice is yours.
