Robert Walser's "Jakob von Gunten"
Will get back to Krzhizhanovsky when NYRB "kindlizes" Memories of the Future. In the meantime I'm dipping back into Robert Walser: Jakob von Gunten. It's another NYRB output and it is on Kindle.
Here's a couple big names and blurbs from Amazon's Review:
The moral core of Walser's art is the refusal of power; of domination.... Walser's virtues are of the most mature, most civilized art. He is a truly wonderful, heartbreaking writer.
-- Susan Sontag
If he had a hundred thousand readers, the world would be a better place.
-- Hermann Hesse
