W. G. Sebald was a literary phenomenon: a German literary scholar
working in England, who took up creative writing out of
dissatisfaction with German post-war letters. Within only a few
years, his unique prose books made him one of the most celebrated
authors of the late twentieth-century. Sebald died prematurely,
aged 57, after the publication of his most celebrated prose fiction
Austerlitz. This accessible critical introduction, written by a
leading expert, highlights Sebald's double role as writer and
academic. It discusses his oeuvre in the order in which his works
were published in German in order to offer a deeper understanding
of the original development of his literary writings. In addition
to concise but incisive interpretations of the main publications,
Schutte demonstrates how Sebald's critical writings (most of which
still await translation) fed into his literary texts and concludes
his study with a perceptive assessment of Sebald as a cult author.
