Both W. G. Sebald (1944-2001) and the Austrian author Christoph
Ransmayr (1954-) were born too late to know directly the violence
of the Second World War and the Holocaust, but these traumatic
events are a persistent presence in their work. In a series of
close readings of key prose texts, Dora Osborne examines the
different ways in which the traces of a traumatic past mark their
narratives. By focusing on the authors use of visual and
topographical tropes, she shows how blind spots and inhospitable
places configure signs of past violence, but, ultimately, resist
our understanding. Whilst links between the two authors are
well-documented, this book offers the first full-length study of
Sebald and Ransmayr and their complicated relation to the traumatic
traces of National Socialism. Dora Osborne is Lecturer in German at
the University of Nottingham.
