A SPECTATOR, NEW STATESMAN AND THE TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'The best
biography I have read in years' Philippe Sands 'Spectacular'
Observer 'A remarkable portrait' Guardian W. G. Sebald was one of
the most extraordinary and influential writers of the twentieth
century. Through books including The Emigrants, Austerlitz and The
Rings of Saturn, he pursued an original literary vision that
combined fiction, history, autobiography and photography and
addressed some of the most profound themes of contemporary
literature: the burden of the Holocaust, memory, loss and exile.
The first biography to explore his life and work, Speak, Silence
pursues the true Sebald through the memories of those who knew him
and through the work he left behind. This quest takes Carole Angier
from Sebald's birth as a second-generation German at the end of the
Second World War, through his rejection of the poisoned inheritance
of the Third Reich, to his emigration to England, exploring the
choice of isolation and exile that drove his work. It digs deep
into a creative mind on the edge, finding profound empathy and
paradoxical ruthlessness, saving humour, and an elusive mix of fact
and fiction in his life as well as work. The result is a unique,
ferociously original portrait.
