A nice discovery tonight on my journey around the web — the cover art for the first-ever English language edition of Walser’s novel The Tanners, translated by Susan Bernofsky:

As Chad Post recently noted, the book comes with an introduction by W. G. Sebald, which fact you can faintly make out if you look carefully enough. The book is scheduled for a Spring 2009 release.

The image comes from translator Bernofsky’s website. I knew of her blog, but prior to today I didn’t know of this website, which is admirably complete. From it I also learned that her biography-in-progress of Walser is entitled: And No One Ever Knew: A Biography of Robert Walser.

There you go: a cover and a title. Two things we didn’t know before.
