{"product_id":"9780940322219","title":"Jakob von Gunten","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Swiss writer Robert Walser is one of the quiet geniuses of twentieth-century literature. Largely self-taught and altogether indifferent to worldly success, Walser wrote a range of short stories, essays, as well as four novels, of which \"Jakob von Gunten\" is widely recognized as the finest. The book is a young man's inquisitive and irreverent account of life in what turns out to be the most uncanny of schools. It is the work of an outsider artist, a writer of uncompromising originality and disconcerting humor, whose beautiful sentences have the simplicity and strangeness of a painting by Henri Rousseau.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49652769980664,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":33.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780940322219-1_008e7869-459a-40f3-9688-d5653b0d40ae.jpg?v=1791880795","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9780940322219","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
