{"product_id":"9781590178188","title":"Jakob von Gunten","description":"The  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 \u003ci\u003eJakob von Gunten\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157563228400,"sku":"9781590178188","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590178188_p0.jpg?v=1763805960","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590178188","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
