This article reads J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst's S. (2013) as a reflection of the changing status and function of the printed novel in the digital age. As an experimental novel with yellowing pages and handwriting in the margins, S. appears to reflect a “material turn” in literature. It celebrates the book as a space of intimacy and memory, positioned in opposition to new digital media. However, the article argues that S. is also fundamentally and paradoxically grounded in digital culture. Drawing on the work of, for example, N. Katherine Hayles, Bill Brown, and Henry Jenkins, I point to a tension in S. It does at once (1) nostalgically celebrate the “aesthetics of bookishness” and (2) embrace a modern media culture where literature takes place beyond the book and between media.

“你+我的剪贴簿”

本文将 JJ Abrams 和 Doug Dorst 的 S. (2013) 解读为数字时代印刷小说地位和功能不断变化的反映。作为一本泛黄的页边空白和手写体的实验小说，S.似乎反映了文学的“物质转向”。它庆祝这本书是一个亲密和记忆的空间，定位于新数字媒体的对立面。然而，文章认为 S. 也从根本上和自相矛盾地植根于数字文化。例如，借鉴 N. Katherine Hayles、Bill Brown 和 Henry Jenkins 的作品，我指出了 S 中的张力。它立即 (1) 怀旧地庆祝“书呆子美学”和 (2) 拥抱现代媒体文化，文学发生在书本之外和媒体之间。
