Unrecounted combines thirty-three of what W. G. Sebald called his
"micropoems" miniatures as unclassifiable as all of his works with
thirty-three exquisitely exact lithographs by one of his oldest
friends, the acclaimed artist Jan Peter Tripp. The lithographs
portray, with stunning precision, pairs of eyes the eyes of
Beckett, Borges, Proust Jasper Johns, Francis Bacon, Tripp, Sebald,
Sebald's dog Maurice. Brief as haiku, the poems are epiphanic and
anti-narrative. What the author calls "time lost, the pain of
remembering, and the figure of death" here find a small home. The
art and poems do not explain one another, but rather engage in a
kind of dialogue. "The longer I look at the pictures of Jan Peter
Tripp," Sebald comments in his essay, "the better I understand that
behind the illusions of the surface, a dread-inspiring depth is
concealed. It is the metaphysical lining of reality, so to speak."
