The Robber, Robert Walser’s last novel, tells the story of a
dreamer on a journey of self-discovery. It is a hybrid of love
story, tragedy, and farce, with a protagonist who sweet-talks
teaspoons, flirts with important politicians, plays maidservant to
young boys, and uses a passerby’s mouth as an ashtray. Walser’s
novel spoofs the stiff-upper-lipped European petit bourgeois and
its nervous reactions to whatever threatens the stability of its
worldview.
