Largely self-taught and altogether indifferent to worldly success, Walser wrote a range of short stories, essays, as well as four novels, of which Jakob von Gunten is widely recognized as the finest. The book is a young man's inquisitive and irreverent account of life in what turns out to be the most uncanny of schools. It is the work of an outsider artist, a writer of uncompromising originality and disconcerting humor, whose beautiful sentences have the simplicity and strangeness of a painting by Henri Rousseau.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974697845024,"sku":"NEW0940322218","price":16.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/jakob-von-gunten-new-york-review-books-paperback-0940322218","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
