Julia Schoch Concludes Autofiction Trilogy with 'Wild nach einem wilden Traum'

The final installment explores a transformative affair and the complexities of memory, blending personal history with fiction.

Julia Schoch's 'Wild nach einem wilden Traum' serves as the concluding volume of her trilogy 'Biographie einer Frau.'
The novel centers on a brief but life-altering affair between a married writer and a colleague, referred to as 'the Catalan.'
Themes of memory, identity, and self-discovery are woven throughout, extending beyond the affair to the protagonist's childhood and past relationships.
Schoch employs a fragmented narrative style to mirror the natural process of remembering, supported by her concise and elegant prose.
The trilogy's prior volumes explored personal themes, including the discovery of a half-sister and the dissolution of a long-term marriage.
