Babbo's Book Club: Berlin Stories by Robert Walser
Friday, March 2nd, 8:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
"These aren’t quite stories, but alloys of fiction, journalism and penetrating reflection. These are the stories of a man in love with the world, but unable to take part in it." -- Intelligent Life Magazine
Written in the early twentieth century, these stories by Robert Walser celebrate the lively city of Berlin from an outsider's point of view. Walser was born into a German-speaking family in Biel, Switzerland, in 1878. He arrived in Berlin in 1905. The stories are translated from German to English by Susan Bernofsky for the first time.
Copies of Berlin Stories can be purchased at Babbo's Books.
Babbo's Book Club meets on the first Friday of every month. Books are chosen by consensus and alternate between fiction and non-fiction.
