ArQtiQ
By Anna Adolph
Published (1899)
This puzzling novel, self-published in 1899, has an idiosyncratic, even ungrammatical writing style, but is deeply lyrical. A biography of the author (who stylized the novel as ‘ArQtiQ’ in her personal correspondance) has uncovered the many links between the novel and her life story.
