Forlagsbeskrivelse af The Rings Of Saturn af W.G. Sebald
A record of a journey on foot through coastal East Anglia. ‘Sebald is the Joyce of the 21st Century’ The TimesWhat begins as the record of W. G. Sebald’s own journey on foot through coastal East Anglia, from Lowestoft to Bungay, becomes the conductor of evocations of people and cultures past and present. From Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, to fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms, the result is an intricately patterned and haunting book on the transience of all things human. ‘A novel of ideas with a difference: it is nothing but ideas… 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
