Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Swiss writer of whom Hermann Hesse famously declared, If he had a hundred thousand readers, the world would be a better place, Robert Walser (18781956) is only now finding an audience among Englishspeaking readers commensurate with his meritsif not with his selfimage. After a wandering, precarious life during which he produced poems, essays, stories, and novels, Walser entered an insane asylum, saying, I am not here to write, but to be mad. Many of the unpublished works he left were in fact written in an idiosyncratically abbreviated script that was for years dismissed as an impenetrable private cipher. Fourteen texts from these socalled pencil manuscripts are included in this volumerich evidence that Walsers microscripts, rather than the work of incipient madness, were in actuality the product of desperate genius building a last reserve, and as such, a treasure in modern literature.With a brisk preface and a chronology of Walsers life and work, this collection of fifty translations of short prose pieces covers the middle to later years of the writers oeuvre. It provides unparalleled insight into Walsers creative process, along with a unique opportunity to experience the unfolding of his rare and eccentric gift. His novels The Robber (Nebraska 2000) and Jakob von Gunten are also available in English translation.
