## Bio

Robert Walser was born 15 April 1878 and wrote in German while drifting through low-paying work: copyist, butler, inventor's assistant. His early books gained some traction, but by the 1920s and 1930s his audience had quietly evaporated, and writing could no longer keep him fed. A nervous breakdown ended the attempt. He spent the rest of his years in sanatoria, until his death on 25 December 1956, long after the literary world had moved on.
