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.
