What I’ve been reading
(2021-04-09)
1. Susan Bernofsky, Clairvoyant of the Small: The Life of Robert Walser . I believe you need to have read Walser first, but if so this is a far better biography than what you might have expected the English-speaking world to have produced. It is also an implicit portrait of where pre-WWI Europe went wrong, the history of micro-writing, and a paean to general weirdness, noting that Walser in both his life and writing is inexplicable to this day.
