These narrow strips of paper, covered with tiny ant-like pencil markings a millimeter high, came to light only after the author's death in 1956.At first considered random restless pencil markings or a secret code, the microscripts were in time discovered to be a radically miniaturized form of antique German script: a whole story was deciphered on the back of a business card. These twenty-five short pieces address schnapps, rotten husbands, small town life, elegant jaunts, the radio, swine, jealousy, and marriage proposals.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New Directions \/ Christine Burgin","offers":[{"title":"Microscripts | Robert Walser | Paperback | 9780811220330 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks I 1758458","offer_id":49178794492056,"sku":"1758458","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61DfMtOUvML.jpg?v=1780081452","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/microscripts","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
