In Too much Flesh and Jabez, Coleman Dowell quotes a line from Wassermann's The World's Illusion. That's how I got to know about him and possibly in the world of literature, particularly the German literature, he must be a recognised figure but not widely recognized. Plenty of information is available about him on internet. His works are supposed to be heavily influenced by Dostoevsky. Good.
