»(Autofictional Novel)«

Olaf Langmack:

In 2014 I had made two unvoluntary experiences that generally are considered life-changing. Inspired by these experiences, I set out to decipher and publish my story. As reference I established my self-narrative through a series of episodes in February 2015. (…) However, I couldn't find a way to describe it convincingly.[1] I concluded that instead of an autobiography, I would have to write an autofictional novel, even without any experience or training. The fictional element became an impossible machine, which could read and print thoughts. This trick in 2020 [2] eventually brought a life-changing self-realization and in the process a satisfying conclusion of this project.
