This paper takes a look at how "The Walk" uses indicators of narrativity / narrativeness in order to subvert them, especially by dissolving narrative times. This leads to narrative performativity. Its narrative techniques are mirrored in the very Walserian self-description of eating a meal. In the central episode of the "The Walk" the protagonist eats "pieces" (German "Stücke"), what in Walser's terminology means both sweets and narratives ("Prosastückli"). This leads to a circle of intertextuality, in which the writer reads his own text and re-writes it at the same time. Nonetheless, "The Walk" is not a pure manifestation of self-reflexivity because its non-systematic narration is undeniable. Walser's "The Walk" formulates and follows a poetics of "narrating-as-writing" which highlights both performativity and materiality of the act of narration.
