This journal features "Literature of the fantastic, supernatural and decadent." Adam Daly contributes an essay "Robert WAlser: Strange Supplicant, Idiot Savant, Master of the Microgram." A portrait drawn by Guy Davenport is included. The Sackner Archive holds books that have texts of the unusual micrographic writings of Walser. Daly writes, "To the best of my knowledge Walser's celebrated 'Micrograms' have yet to be translated into English...They've only recently been annotated, amounting to nearly five hundred and thirty sheets of miscellaneous, fragmentary manuscripts, constituting a treasure-chest of rarefied scribbles that lay Walser's soul bare. And it can be said that the preternaturally obsessional drift of these writings, which were undertaken during a period of unanchored wanderings around Europe, gradually brought on the madness which eventually propelled him toward institutionalisation...he embarked in 1924 on the Micrograms, which were never released and only finally deciphered by scholars Werner Morlang andBernard Echte in 2000. Walser worked for nine years on his increasingly illegible masterwork in a minature hand with lead pencils - a remarkable physical and mental feat...the journalist Carl Seelig took over his afffairs, acting as an attorney, confident, and in the end a literary executor ensuring that his protege's achievements were saved for posterity - the judgement of which has at least been far kinder than that of the contemporaneous critical establishment...Walser is an unjustly, neglected genius. However, when the Micrograms are translated inot English, I am confident his genius will be even more evident to anybody with the Sisyphean staying-power to plough through them." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
