A tip of the Alpine Hat in Velour Fur Felt (discontinued) to @NewDirections for letting us know about this segment on PRI this morning:

Award-winning translator Susan Bernofsky talks to World Books Editor Bill Marx about “The Tanners,” an early work of fiction by the mysterious Swiss writer Robert Walser, who was admired by J. M. Coetzee, Franz Kafka, and W. G. Sebald. She also reads an excerpt from her translation, the first in English, of the 1907 novel. Download the latest podcast

Starts with a nice nod to Middleton.
