Synopsis

This collection of poetry by W. G. Sebald, accompanied by drawings from Tess Jaray, offers a contemplative journey through memory and observation. Sebald's distinctive voice explores themes of loss, history, and the passage of time, often blurring the lines between prose and verse. The poems invite readers into a world of quiet introspection and profound reflection.

Authors

Winfried Georg Sebald was a German writer and academic. At the time of his death at the age of 57, he was being cited by many literary critics as one of the greatest living authors and had been tipped as a possible future winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. In a 2007 interview, Horace Engdahl, former secretary of the Swedish Academy, mentioned Sebald, Ryszard Kapuściński and Jacques Derrida as three recently deceased writers who would have been worthy laureates.
