Reviews
"A writer of almost unclassifiable originality, but whose voice we recognize as indispensable and central to our time." - The New York Times Book Review "The language of After Nature , as conveyed in Michael Hamburger's flawlessly clear translation, is classically lucid. . . . It is [Sebald's] ability to enter diverse inner landscapes, and evoke, with an impartial empathy, entire geographies of experience, that gives [his] writing . . . its gravitas and its somber beauty." - The New York Times Book Review "Accessible and moving . . . a wonderful introduction to this compelling and impressive writer, even for those who insist they do not like or understand poetry." - USA Today "Here, we find the contours or outlines of his singular vision, the interconnecting, often uninterpreted threads of association that constitute a life, and meditations on his great themes of exile, memory, and loss." - The Washington Post "The verse retains the Sebaldian virtues of rhetorical elegance and clarity, and sits well in English, as indeed does virtually every word he wrote. . . . [ After Nature ] is a work of great power and seriousness, fully worthy to stand beside the prose works of Sebald's last decade." - The New York Review of Books, "A writer of almost unclassifiable originality, but whose voice we recognize as indispensable and central to our time." -- The New York Times Book Review "The language of After Nature , as conveyed in Michael Hamburger's flawlessly clear translation, is classically lucid. . . .
