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.
