A Schoolboys Diary brings together more than seventy of Robert Walsers strange and wonderful stories, most never before available in English. Opening with a sequence from Walsers first book, Fritz Kochers Essays, the complete classroom assignments of a fictional boy who has met a tragically early death, this selection ranges from sketches of uncomprehending editors, overly passionate readers, and dreamy artists to tales of devilish adultery, sexual encounters on a train, and Walsers service in World War I. Throughout, Walsers careening, confounding, delicious voice holds the reader transfixed.
