For the first time, this study undertakes a comparison of Robert Walser's and Friedrich Nietzsche's poetic methodologies. Assuming a"poetics of unintelligibility," Strinz draws out the characteristics of both authors in selected texts, focusing particularly on the staging of self-reflection, the critique of the subject, and fragmentation.
