Seelig wanted to make of friend Walser his Walser, his own figure, and was forever scribbling furtive notes on their walks and at meals in country inns in Toggenburg: notes that Walser, meanwhile, pretended not to see, while Seelig was busy plucking and sorting him, readying him for the killing box of literary legend.

 The New York Review of Books: The Genius of Robert Walser
Robert Walser was born in 1878 in the canton of Bern, the seventh of eight children.
Walser's texts are driven neither by logic nor by narrative but by moods, fancies, and associations: in temperament he is less a thinker or storyteller than an essayist.
Today Walser is judged largely on the basis of his novels, even though these form only a fifth of his output, and even though the novel proper was not his forte (the four novels he left behind really belong to the tradition of the novella).

 CONTEXT: John Taylor Reading Robert Walser
Reading Walser's prose on its own terms demands keeping in a proper perspective certain disturbing facts concerning the last third of his life, which was spent in two mental asylums.
Although Walser can concentrate on a given anecdote per se (thereby revealing his predilection for the singular event and the isolated instant, as opposed to a world-view presupposing temporal continuity), the logic of coherent storytelling--in which several anecdotes must be woven together plausibly--can become comically chaotic.
Walser's silence is particularly troubling because, from the beginning of his career through the mid-1920s, and despite increasing periods of abject poverty, self-reclusion and nomadism, his productivity was impressive, by any writer's standards.
