Trade Review
"Think of Sebald as memory's Einstein." -- Richard Eder - The New York Times
"The images...set up a mysterious dialogue with the text, rather like the photos Sebald inserted into his novels." -- Adam Kirsch - New York Sun
"A totally original book of poems...haunting, profound, nonsensical, surreal—at moments even painful." -- Robert Leiter - Jewish Exponent
"The drawings along with Sebald's text play with serious themes in a European tradition that has all but vanished." -- George Porcari - New York Arts
"The magic of W. G. Sebald's incandescent body of work continues to unfold, with this unexpected collaboration." -- Susan Sontag
"Now this poem of gazes has become a memorial, a bequeathal...this legacy of his has the density of epitaphs." -- Andrea Köhler
