It's been some time since I read this, and I don't recall any details but still have a positive feeling about the book. Stendhal e Kafka, ma anche Pisanello e Giotto. Questi i compagni dei viaggi - reali, immaginati, ricostruiti - qui descritti da Sebald, in peregrinazioni incentrate soprattutto sull'Italia e sull'inseguimento di un senso di vertigine che dà il titolo al libro, suo primo romanzo e già capolavoro. Fra le quattro parti del libro, All'estero è quella che prediligo, per via dell'affascinante equilibrio fra progetto e imprevisto, non senza momenti di ironia. I liked the writing style but really feel like I missed something. Like a story, or a plot, or a theme. I also feel that the random pictures included in the book took away rather than enhanced the book. Great book wrong time? or maybe this book just isn't for me. Definitely didn't hate it though. dreamy but detached. i liked the pictures.
The time has come to say something about this writer's extraordinary prose, without which his rambling plots and ruminations would be merely clever and unsettling. Like the coincidences he speaks of, it is a style that recovers, devours, and displaces the past. He has Bernhard's love of the alarming superlative, the tendency to describe states of the most devastating confusion with great precision and control. But the touch is much lighter than Bernhard's, the instrument more flexible. Kafka is present here too, perhaps from time to time Robert Walser, and no doubt others as well. But all these predecessors have been completely digested, destroyed, and remade in Sebald and above all in his magnificent descriptions, which mediate so effectively between casual incident and grand reflection.
Den tyske forfatter W.G. Sebald (1944-2001) blander fiktion og virkelighed i fire fortællinger, der indbyrdes er bundet sammen, og hvor han selv og forfatterne Franz Kafka og Stendhal rejser i erindringens til tider upålidelige rum. No library descriptions found. |

A young imitator of Sebald, who retains his description of the flight of birds suspended in air for eternity, and a felicity for fin-de-siècle authors suffering from, alternatingly, homosexuality and venereal disease; though we know Kafka not to have been so somber and Stendhal so maudlin. (
