Anton‘s Bark - Seven
Manage episode 320718944 series 2655581
This episode begins with the real Otto’s reading of Chapter Five. It is a pivotal chapter in Anton’s novel where, after waking up from a nightmare in his hotel room in Vienna, the fictional Otto arranges to meet his estranged wife, Marie, at the Spitzenhof café, only to be shocked and disappointed when he gets there. We learn that the fictional Otto has been endowed with special but difficult to interpret powers of foresight. Since 1999 he’s been able to foresee what was going to happen to him within twenty-four hours of his arrival in Vienna. Unfortunately, the details of these prophecies are sketchy. Not to be thwarted by Anton’s designs for him, in the second half of this episode, the real Otto emerges once again, in his own right, putting him in pole-position to challenge Anton’s version of what happens to him in Otto in Flames, through his telling of what happens to Anton after he disappears and tries to write an improved draft of Chapter Six.
