'Sebald is the Joyce of the 21st Century' The Times What begins as
the record of W. G. Sebald's own journey on foot through coastal
East Anglia, from Lowestoft to Bungay, becomes the conductor of
evocations of people and cultures past and present. From
Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, to fishing
fleets, skulls and silkworms, the result is an intricately
patterned and haunting book on the transience of all things human.
'A novel of ideas with a difference: it is nothing but ideas...
Formally dexterous, fearlessly written (why shouldn't an essay be a
novel?), and unremittingly arcane; by the end I was in tears' Teju
Cole, Guardian
