Art, Fiction, & History: The Work of W.G. Sebald

[@Marcosipov69]

I love the theatrical air of this group. Professor Ryan is always holding the microphone as if someone has given her something that she doesn't know what to do with. Daniel Kehlmann is the giddy youngster playfully contending with the sobriety of Professor Anderson. Professor Aciman is the only one who seems to be aware of the comedy and thus sits there enjoying it like a contented uncle at a family dinner. Absolutely fantastic tribute to Sebald.

Professor Ryan and the microphone! Yes! Although I'd read a bit more into it than that... not to be shared here. A great conversation overall though. Thank you.

Ninguno tiene altura espiritual ni artística para hablar de Sebald. Son cuatro larvas alimentándose en el interior de los restos de un gran escritor

The way to reconcile his harshness with his humility and humanity is to remember that he was formally trained. But he was ultimately an educator.

As an academic, angry shouting at the "Conspiracy of silence," then later, as a writer, silently, sympathetically, listening to the story ... of the holocaust, of the war. Seems like a kind of natural life progression, a natural (or purposeful) reaction. He wanted to break the silence. He wanted to break the silence, and he did so, in, as he says re: the medusa, in a reflection, looking back. I believe it is in this interview that he says he found the "Austerlitz" photo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poSplIeNfsxghsk
