A Schoolboy's Diary and Other Stories by Robert Walser
funny
inspiring

4.0
This is a whirlwind of short stories that were a bit hit or miss in terms of quality, but the good ones were really good. I especially liked the ones written from the perspective of a schoolboy, which I found absolutely delightful in their accuracy to the middleschool spirit and their subtle, ironical jabs at the great questions that plague young minds.
There was a noticeable trend toward stories about stories, author interventions etc, which were at times at times unfortunately grating. I did like the ones about poetry from the 6 short stories cycle, though.
I'd recommend this if you want something light, easy to read on public transport. There will be things you will certainly find enjoyable and thought-provoking!
