The Predestination Paradox
by
"A unique literary metafiction built on fractal, recursive narrative: three distinct narrators constantly write and rewrite each other’s fates, all revealed as split selves of one trapped individual. It weaves existentialism and intergenerational familial trauma into a labyrinth‑like experimental structure."
