Woven together from personal experience, literary analysis and various theories and practices from psychology, OtBoT aims to discuss the connectedness, alienation, and difficulty of representing trauma in a text. Through five works of fiction, I explore personal connections to the text, parallels between disparate experiences and draw a series of observations, challenging some of the conventions established within the trauma studies field.
