'Posthumous Pieces' is the favourite of many serious students of Wei Wu Wei's books, who say that it delivers his message in a concise and consistent way. In addition to addressing the nature of time, space, and the self, he also skewers illusions about mantras, karma, science, and death. The profound aphorisms he is known for are here in abundance.

This collection of exploratory pieces, short stories, and reflections was originally published in Zurich in 1936. It was the last volume Robert Musil published before his sudden death in 1942. Musil had begun to fathom the impossibility of com- pleting his monumental masterpiece The Man Without Qualities and this volume reveals a radically different aspect of his work. Musil observes a fly’s tragic struggle with flypaper, the laughter of a horse; he peers through microscopes and telescopes, dissecting both large and small. Musil’s quest for the essential is a voyage into the minute.
