The characters behave as if in a poetic purgatory, twisting and turning until they confess, which in the end is precisely their purpose. They are messengers of a poetic existence who bears witness to the human longing for being without boundaries while rooted in a center.
Reto Sorg, from the Foreword to Robert Walser's Fairy Tales (trans. from the German by Daniele Pantano and James Reidel)
When characters speak of their existence, they stand as if beside themselves. Everything has already happened; time has stopped; life becomes reflectively stretched apart.
Reto Sorg, from the Foreword to Robert Walser's Fairy Tales (trans. from the German by Daniele Pantano and James Reidel)
The characters, while still fairy-tale beings, exemplify the modern individual who exists to understand the possible terms of his or her fate. For the characters, the fairy tale is the world and language out of which they are made, their nature.
