Walter Benjamin is the only one among the commentators who attempts to pin down the anonymous, evanescent quality of Walser\u2019s characters. They come, he says, \u201cfrom insanity and nowhere else. They are figures who have left madness behind them, and this is why they are marked by such a consistently heartrending, inhuman superficiality. If we were to attempt to sum up in a single phrase the delightful yet also uncanny element in them, we would have to say: they have all been healed.\u201d Nabokov surely had something similar in mind when he said of the fickle souls who roam Nikolai Gogol\u2019s books that here we have to do with a tribe of harmless madmen, who will not be prevented by anything in the world from plowing their own eccentric furrow.<\/p>\n
