Mini bio

  • Walter Serner's life and especially his death have been shrouded in mystery. The last thing that was heard of him was a letter he wrote on October 13th, 1927. He disappeared and it is still unknown what happened or where and when he died. Serner's work was never really accepted by the literary establishment. It was 're-discovered' at the end of the sixties. He spent most of his life travelling through Europe
    • Vienna, Berlin, Munich, but also Paris, Zürich, Geneva, Naples and
    Frankfurt, writing, living in hotels and discussing the ideas of the Dadaist movement, most of which were consequently spread by Tristan Tzara. His best known book is Die Tigerin (The Tigress), published in 1925.
