Welcome to the third series in the Otto Loser Mysteries podcast. This is the first Otto Loser Mystery to be told by Otto himself. From the outset Otto’s position is that he is able to speak independently, rather than as a character in a series of novels. The story he tells is called Anton’s Bark. It is about the obscure Austrian writer, Anton Matins, creator of the fictitious Otto. We learn that Anton has begun to write his third and final novel about Otto’s life. The writer is working as usual, at his regular table, in his favourite café. As he drafts Chapter One of Otto in Flames, Anton is struck by the vision of a beautiful muse, reading a book in his café. As she sits there, the muse grants the writer a single, extraordinary gift. It dawns on him, after a time, that everything he imagines comes true. It is the real Otto who recounts these events. He explains that he himself came into being, as a real person, through a dream Anton imagined him having.
