Fleur Jaeggy, født i Zürich, bosat i Milano, er en italiensksproget schweizisk forfatter, oversætter og essayist. Hun debuterede i 1968 med bogen Il dito in bocca og har siden udgivet syv skønlitterære bøger. Proleterka er navnet på det skib, som romanens unge kvindelige fortæller tager på en rejse med sammen med sin syge far Johannes. Deres forhold er høfligt og ceremonielt. Den unge pige observerer skarpt faderen og hans bekendt-skabskreds. Samtidig fortælles lidt efter lidt historien om familiens fortid og dens forlis. Om pigen, der som barn pga. en skilsmisse blev forladt af begge sine forældre og kastebold mellem forskellige formyndere. Og om hendes voldsomme begær efter en af Proleterkas officerer.

“Robert Walser wrote many of his manuscripts in a highly enigmatic, shrunken-down form. These narrow strips of paper (many of them written during his hospitalization in the Waldau sanatorium) covered with tiny ant-like markings only a millimeter or two high, came to light only after the author’s death in 1956. At first considered a secret code, the microscripts were eventually discovered to be a radically miniaturized form of a Germanic script: a whole story could fit on the back of a business card. Selected from the six-volume German transcriptions from the original microscripts, these twenty-five short pieces are gathered in this gorgeously illustrated co-publication with the Christine Burgin Gallery. Each microscript is reproduced in full color in its original form: the detached cover of a trashy crime novel, a disappointing letter, a receipt of payment. Sometimes Walser used the pages of small tear-off calendars (but only after cutting them lengthwise and filling up each half with text). Schnapps, rotten husbands, small town life, the radio, pigs (and how none of us can deny being one), jealousy, Van Gogh and marriage proposals are some of Walser’s subjects. These texts take strength from Walser’s motto: “To be small and to stay small.””.
