Klausen and Microscripts

For those who didn’t already see it in the comments, the forthcoming Bernhardian work in translation that I mentioned earlier this week is indeed Klausen by Andras Maier, publishing from Open Letter in August.

As to translations that are publishing a little sooner, New Directions has made one of Robert Walser’s Microscripts available on its website here, with both the original script (it’s amazing anyone can read these) and the printed English translation.
