Pathology. Psychosis. Schizophrenia. These words often prove inseparable from the life and work of twentieth-century German-language writer Robert Walser. This book takes Walser’s schizophrenia diagnosis as a point of departure and provides a cognitive study of his writing, suggesting that his unique prose is rooted in uncommon cognition.
