Malina: A Novel

Anonymous pen and pencil annotations discovered in a scanned copy of Ingeborg Bachmann’s novel, Malina.

I found it uploaded on Internet Archive and transcribed the markings into a new version of the book.

The text reads cryptic and is visually fragmented, yet recurring themes emerge.

In their notes,the reader-turned-writer explores how events and characters foreshadow the collapsed inner world of an unnamed protagonist.

The complete project was uploaded back on Internet Archive & can be accessed here:
