Description

Book Synopsis
This accessible critical introduction, written by a leading expert, highlights W.G. Sebald’s double role as writer and academic.

Trade Review
'Schütte’s book is now the place to start with one’s study of Sebald... It seems so simple, doesn’t it—summarize an author’s life, books, and impact in 130 pages? Schütte makes this look easy, which is a credit to the clarity of his writing and critical thinking.'
