Description
Dressed in his cheap, battered suit, Joseph Marti arrives at the impressive villa of Karl Tobler, an enthusiastic but ill-starred inventor, to begin employment as his clerk. Tobler is determined to finance his family s lavish lifestyle with the proceeds from his latest idea a clock adorned with advertisements. But Tobler s grand plans are destined for failure and the household, including Marti, refuse to acknowledge their approaching ruin.
Robert Walser claimed to have written The Assistant, a semi-autobiographical work, in just six weeks as an entry for a literary competition. The second of his few surviving novels, it is now regarded as major work of modernist literature.
