The Robber, Paperback / softback Book

Description

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.
