The Walk (novella)

Last updated

The Walk (German : Der Spaziergang) is a 1917 novella by the Swiss writer Robert Walser. It is set during a walk full of philosophical musings. It was first published in 1917, before Walser heavily revised the story in 1920. [1] The 1917 version was published in English in 1957, translated by Christopher Middleton. [2]

It was the main inspiration for the found-footage film All This Can Happen (2012) by Siobhan Davies and David Hinton [3] and the Rome-set COVID-19 film The Walk (2021) by Giovanni Maderna. [4]
