The Raw Shark Texts is a 2007 novel by Stuart Hall. The main text itself is by no means lost. However, there was (or was intended to be, as most of them were never written) a negative, or an un-chapter, corresponding with each of the 36 chapters. The ones that existed were collected on this forum, which has since gone under. Sadly, my investigative skills are lacking, and I'm yet to find a single lead towards recovering Negative 1 (The Aquarium Fragment), which according to my sources is the longest of the missing segments and vital to the story of the novel.
If anyone happens to know whether the pdf has been preserved elsewhere or if it's truly lost, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks, but I'm not actually sure it includes the missing chapter itself. As the forum post you linked to says, the Canadian edition only has an extra page, while the actual chapter posted online had sixteen pages. I followed the ISBN number back earlier, but couldn't verify it actually contained the missing prologue, either.
