Description
Robert Walser's "Masquerade" and Other Stories presents a unique selection of his work, spanning nearly three decades. Written between 1899 and 1933, these 64 sketches, scenes, stories, and wanderings showcase the author's distinctive style, characterized by unconventional comparisons, warped syntax, and a delight in contradiction. Quirky and playful, Walser's texts are marked by their originality and playfulness, making them both fascinating and challenging to read. This collection offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the most important and original literary voices of the twentieth century. Through this representative selection, Susan Bernofsky provides a unique insight into Walser's work, from his early fiction to the final years before his writing voice was silenced by illness.
