Clairvoyant of the small : the life of Robert Walser / Susan Bernofsky. by Bernofsky, Susan, author. New Haven : Yale University Press, [2021] Subjects Walser, Robert, 1878-1956.   Authors, Swiss -- 20th century -- Biography. ISBN:  9780300220643 (hardcover) 0300220642 (hardcover) Description:  viii, 378 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color) ; 25 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "The great Swiss-German modernist author Robert Walser lived eccentrically on the fringes of society, shocking his Berlin friends by enrolling in butler school and later developing an urban-nomad lifestyle in the Swiss capital, Bern, before checking himself into a psychiatric clinic. A connoisseur of power differentials, his pronounced interest in everything inconspicuous and modest-social outcasts and artists as well as the impoverished, marginalized, and forgotten-prompted W. G. Sebald to dub him "a clairvoyant of the small." His revolutionary use of short prose forms had an enormous influence on Franz Kafka, Walter Benjamin, Robert Musil, and many others."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 839.77 Walser Be Checked In Add Copy to MyList
