http://msarki.tumblr.com/post/72908914865/austerlitz-by-w-g-sebaldI love the way Max Sebald writes. His language is rich and warm, quite sophisticated, but still accessible. I religiously claim W.G. Sebald as the master of all dream-state authorship. I have never read anyone so gifted at lulling ...

Austerlitz fascinated me, but I couldn't say I loved it. Reading this book gave me the feeling of being jet-lagged somewhere in a strange city at three o'clock in the morning, having strange revelations that would seem bizarre in the daylight.

Sebald's work is haunting. There are images and passages that will stay with you forever after reading them. It is very difficult to summarize Sebald's books as they cover so many different things in a meandering, seemingly ramdom manner. With Sebald, however, nothing is ever random. This is perhaps...
NO SPOILERS!!!I have read 160 pages of 414. I am giving this book up. It is not to my taste. Just as as in the last book I read, [b:Far to Go|11354702|Far to Go|Alison Pick|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/214fyT6z-gL._SL75_.jpg|13538148], this is about those children who escaped Nazi cpntrolle...
Austerlitz is a meditation on memory and loss, on what is recoverable after the greatest tragedy. Sebald keeps his distance from the Holocaust. Instead, the Holocaust is seen from fifty years later, and three mediating narrators (the narrator, Austerlitz, Austerlitz's nanny Vera). The story leaves ...
