In an echo of the time Anton followed Urania through his own town at the beginning of the real Otto’s telling Anton’s Bark, Chapter Thirteen has the fictitious Otto following Marie down a street, on a dark night in Vienna. She has the fated money. He now suspects what her secret is, which is to say what the writer has in store for him as Marie enters a private club. A potent feedback-loop has begun to irrupt between the fictitious Otto’s life, and Anton’s experiences in the myth of Midas. The ending of Otto in Flames might ave been a foregone conclusion, yet the fictitious Otto would never have guessed at the true outcome. In the commentary that follows, we learn that as Anton never knew how his novel ended, despite his many efforts to find out, it falls to the real Otto to come up with an ending. That astonishing ending will be set out in Chapter Fourteen of Otto in Flames, next week. This episode ends with an account of what happened to Anton on returning to the cave with a puppet of the fictitious Otto in his mouth, a puppet answering to the name of Orpheus.
