I cannot see how you could reconstruct a novel from a plot summary, regardless of additional information provided. Do you mean a text such that if a person read it, then read the actual Finnigan's Wake say a year later, 95% of the time he would not notice the difference? In any case, this scheme clearly has greater K-complexity than a .zip file.
