The Swiss writer Robert Walser is one of the quiet geniuses of twentieth-century literature. Largely self-taught and altogether indifferent to worldly success, Walser wrote a range of short stories, essays, as well as four novels, of which Jakob von Gunten is widely recognized as the finest. The book is a young man's inquisitive and irreverent account of life in what turns out to be the most uncanny of schools. It is the work of an outsider artist, a writer of uncompromising originality and disconcerting humor, whose beautiful sentences have the simplicity and strangeness of a painting by Henri Rousseau.

評分an unfamiliar form of "paradoxical" writing, where the familiar "sincerity" is replaced by a rather distant cynicism...Liked Ferdydurke a lot more but Jakob's relationship with obedience is much closer to what I often observe, or even what I have in life (((how conceited one needs to be to have both the death and the dessert:)))
