""The very question of a subject is at stake in this enchanting book. Intriguingly, each chapter has a different voice: from a man writing about Walser to a man writing as a woman speaking as Walser, with a chorus in between that produces an exhilarating threefold reading of strangely connected desires.""-- ""Sharon Kivland, artist, writer, and editor of the independent press MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE"" ""Reading Robert Walser gifts us a psychologically flexible approach to the incomparably brilliant modernist writer. Never pathologizing, Wortham shows that Walser's texts challenge us to think ""asexuality"" and ""queerness"" in new and dynamic ways. Rather than pathologizing Walser, Wortham productively stays under Walser's spell.""-- ""Barbara N. Nagel, Princeton University""
