  3. This is tonight. We’ll be bringing our Middleton-translated Walser book, Jakob von Gunten; and Susan Bernofsky who translated the recently published Berlin Stories for us and The Walk for New Directions (along with Microscripts, The Tanners, and The Assistant) will be there as well. If you’re a Walser fan, this is an event for you.
