Robert Walser: Little Snow Landscape

April 1, 2021 by Trevor Berrett

Robert Walser’s Little Snow Landscape, recently published by NYRB Classics, is the perfect book to start as we get into spring. It will also be perfect for summer, fall, and, believe it or not, winter. I recommend it in perpetuity.
