This book brings English-language readers works by Walser in a rare
form: dramolette. Few writers have ever experienced such a steady
rise in their reputation and public profile as Swiss writer Robert
Walser (1878-1956) has seen in recent years. As more of his
previously little-known work has been translated into English,
readers have discovered a unique writer whose off-kilter
sensibility and innovations in form are perfectly suited to our
fragmented, distracted, bewildering era. The short plays presented
here, inspired by the German theater Walser enjoyed in his youth,
while never meant to be performed, present scenes, characters, and
situations that comment on the brutality of fairy tales, the
impossibilities of love, the dark fate of the Christ child (and
Walser himself), and more. At the same time, like all of Walser's
work they are shot through with a humor that is wholly genuine
despite its shades of darkness. Gathering all of Walser's plays, as
well as his later, fragmentary dramatic writings, Comedies will be
celebrated by the many devoted fans of this lately rediscovered
master.
