The Textual Work of August Walla, mentally disabled artist

[Ben Trovato]

Yeah, I think it would be a good idea to also examine the writings in German too

So here is some running text from Walla. It covers three pages (ca. 9.000 characters) he wrote on a typewriter (page breaks are indicated by "[@]"). The text contains prayers, charms, a list of "russian" words and a section that mixes up geography, theology and a private diary. And obviously he's having fun playing around with special characters.

*** Edit: I just realized the .txt file does not display special characters (umlauts) in a proper way. I uploaded the file as a word document. ***
