This is a very good paperback copy that has a fair amount of underlining and numerous tick marks in the margins. The binding is solid and square, and there are no reading creases in the spine. The cover shows hardly any wear and looks nearly new. --------------------------------------------------------------------The mysterious Robert Walser was a Swiss novelist who excelled in writing the kinds of short pieces found in this collection. He has been described as a 'Kafka precursor, ' and it seems not irrelevant that he was for years a mental patient. He is a writer who will have a small number of devoted readers. Susan Sontag, who has helped introduce Walser in the U.S., describes him thus: "A Paul Klee in prose--as delicate, as shy, as haunted....A cross between Stevie Smith and Beckett: a good-humoured, sweet Beckett....Walser's virtues are those of the most mature, most civilized art. He is a truely wonderful, heartbreaking writer. " This edition has a typically brilliant Introduction by William Gass. 202 pages.
