This is the final episode of Anton’s Bark. It begins with Otto’s reading of Chapter Fourteen of Otto in Flames. The fourteenth chapter of Anton’s novel produces the miraculous ending the writer had always been looking for, but had never been able to find. Now that the writer is lost to the mire of the Unseen, and his book as been lost to time, the real Otto discovers he is finally free. What happens next, after the fictitious Otto manages to reunite himself with his family in Vienna, is the real Otto’s ending to Otto in Flames. At the conclusion of this last episode there is nothing left but for the real Otto to recall, as poetically as he can, how Anton was finally able to escape from the cave and return to his wife, Oksana, still painting a portrait of him in their loft, on 18 February 2019. Thank you for listening.
