Speak Silence: In Search of W. G. Sebald

The long-awaited first biography of W. G. Sebald - a TLS Summer Read'It is a considerable achievement to unpick so convincingly mysteries Sebald has taken care to contrive. And to do it with such respect and indeed generosity that the great originals are burnished' Iain SinclairW. G. Sebald was one of the most extraordinary and influential writers of the twentieth century. Through books including The Emigrants Austerlitz and The Rings of Saturn he pursued an original literary vision that combined fiction history autobiography and photography and addressed some of the most profound themes of contemporary literature: the burden of the Holocaust memory loss and exile.The first biography to explore his life and work Speak Silence pursues the true Sebald through the memories of those who knew him and through the work he left behind. This quest takes Carole Angier from Sebald's birth as a second-generation German at the end of the Second World War through his rejection of the poisoned inheritance of the Third Reich to his emigration to England exploring the choice of isolation and exile that drove his work. It digs deep into a creative mind on the edge finding profound empathy and paradoxical ruthlessness saving humour and an elusive mix of fact and fiction in his life as well as work. The result is a unique ferociously original portrait.
