Rezension zu „The Rings of Saturn “
"Sebald is the Joyce of the 21st Century" The Times "Most writers, even good ones, write of what can be written... The very greatest write of what cannot be written... I think of Akhmatova and Primo Levi, for example, and of W. G. Sebald" New York Times "The finest book of long-distance mental travel that I've ever read" Jonathan Raban, Times Literary Supplement 20030116 "A desperate intensity of feeling is thrillingly counterpoised by the workings of a wonderfully learned and rigorous mind" Sunday Times 20030116 "A great, strange and moving work" James Wood, Guardian 20030116
Pressezitat
A novel of ideas with a difference: it is nothing but ideas. Framed around the narrator's long walks in East Anglia, Sebald shows how one man looks aslant at historical atrocity. 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
