Book Synopsis
The first-ever volume of the photographs of German writer W.G. Sebald, exquisitely designed to shed new light on his creative process, as it chronicles the images and encounters that shaped his writing life.

Shadows of Reality presents a unique, fully illustrated catalogue of W.G. Sebald’s photographs: an extraordinary combination of film negatives, prints, and slides from the University of East Anglia’s photographic collection, the Deutsches Literaturarchiv Marbach, and the Sebald Estate. Complementing the exhibition Lines of Sight: W.G. Sebald’s East Anglia and edited by literary scholar Clive Scott and photography curator Nick Warr, this wonderfully comprehensive book covers the multiple photographic facets of Sebald’s published work and includes a substantial amount of material that has not been made public before.

Introduced by Nick Warr, who offers an intriguing overview of the author's critical relationship to photo
