The Great Enigma: History in Snapshots and Elegies

+ Man learns from disasters as much as a lab rabbit from biology
+ An excellent collection of fugitive pieces by a master.

WG Sebald whose too early accidental death in 2001 is a much-lamented loss to the literary world he so quietly entered briefly before his demise. He is a unique writer, one whose style includes ramblings and crude snapshots of incidental places that support his strange tales. For many he is an ...

First hiding from, then searching for time lost

+ Familiar Tale But Now Told By An Artist
+ European Writing at its Finest

'And I remember, Vera told me, said Austerlitz, that it was Aunt Otylie who taught you...'. This quote encapsulates the narrative technique of the book nicely. Austerlitz tells his story to the unnamed narrator, who is a German living in England, like Sebald. I bought this pocket book by mistake ...
