Perfectly titled, Vertigo -W.G. Sebald's marvelous first novel - is
a work that teeters on the edge: compelling, puzzling, and deeply
unsettling. An unnamed narrator, beset by nervous ailments,
journeys accross Europe to Vienna, Venice, Verona, Riva, and
finally to his childhood home in a small Bavarian village. He is
also journeying into the past. Traveling in the footsteps of
Stendhal, Casanova, and Kafka, the narrator draws the reader, line
by line, into a dizzying web of history, biography, legends,
literature, and - most perilously - memories.
