Name: Freya Reading: The Emigrants, W.G. Sebald Why did you want to read this? Lately Sebald's books have been exactly what I want to read and it felt like it would be really nice to share this one. I think that's partly what I like so much about the podcast - people sharing what they love, in a gentle way - just putting it out there - and the intimacy of reading aloud. How did you record yourself? Sitting on a fluffy rug on my bedroom floor with my laptop in front of me, it was a sunny morning. *Content note: this episode contains mention of death by suicide*
In der Centraalstation Antwerpen lernt der Ich-Erzähler Jacques Austerlitz kennen. Dieser entdeckte erst mit 60 Jahren seine wahre Herkunft: 1939 kam er als 4-Jähriger mit einem Kindertransport aus Prag nach England.

We're joined today by Mark Haber of Coffee House Press (formerly of Brazos Bookstore in Houston). Mark is the author of two novels, Reinhardt's Garden and Saint Sebastian's Abyss, and the forthcoming novel Lesser Ruins, as well as a forthcoming novella, Ada. We chat about his work as well as Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald, translated by Anthea Bell. A quick note that there was some construction noise we didn't detect during the recording but did get picked up by our mics. We've eliminated it to the best of our ability, but if you hear a bit of an odd thrumming in the background or our voices crackle, it's not your ears.This is a fantastic and wide-ranging conversation, really digging into a lot of what makes Sebald's work unique (and how it does or does not influence Mark's own work). We discuss memory, liminality, style, surveillance and organization, the lack of literary feuds on TikTok, and more.Titles/authors mentioned:W.G.

Nej, det är inte personen Lars Norén som står i dagböckernas fokus. Men vad är det då? Poeten Jörgen Lind försöker förstå vad som får honom att läsa dem om och om igen. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Jaha. Där ligger de, fem kompakta volymer med bibeltunna och opaginerade blad, skrivna mellan åren 2000 och 2020. 6040 sidor upplyser förlaget, sammanlagd vikt: 5253 gram. Det slår mig att de tre första volymerna sammantaget väger mer än mina tvillingdöttrar gjorde vid sin ljusa födsel. Fem labyrintiska böcker att gå bort sig i. Fem överväldigande hav att drunkna i. Nej. Det är inte som på Louvren. Men vad är det då i dessa texter som har gjort att jag med våldsam besatthet nästan dagligen de senaste två decennierna omättligt ätit av dem? Varför har jag ägnat så mycket tid åt omtagningen av varje bok, inte bara en gång, utan tre och fyra gånger? Kan det inte tyckas ha varit ett enormt slöseri med tid som kunde ha ägnats åt så mycket annan läsning, så mycket annat engagemang i världen? Jag ser högarna av olästa böcker staplade längs väggarna i lägenheten. Men nej, jag sörjer den inte, all denna tid som jag aldrig får tillbaka. Lars Noréns dagböcker fortsätter alltjämt att skaka om och förlösa mig.Den tyske författaren W G Sebald säger i en sen intervju att när han skriver vet han inte vart han är på väg, han följer tankarna och kopplingarna likt en hund på ett fält. Och kanske är det så jag läser dessa texter, som en skrift med själva avvikelsen som princip. Arbetet tycks för Norén till stor del handla om närvaro, att vara sann mot och lyhörd för ingivelsen med en uppmärksamhet som går att likställa vid den rena hängivelsens bön. För det förhåller ju sig så att när man som författare slutar orkestrera sitt tänkande gör man ofta de största upptäckterna.Och han skriver, om högt och lågt, inte sällan självsvåldigt som i sina detaljerade redogörelser för en hysterisk konsumtion. Här blandas vardagligt skvaller och rena personangrepp med sofistikerat filosoferande och ett våldsamt inspirerande kulturintag. Bill Violas änglar flimrar förbi i Sjostakovitjs stråkkvartetter och Gerhard Richters begravningsmåleri, Maria Miesenbergers dunkla förnimmelsefotografier ackompanjeras av John Coltrane och Art Pepper. Men främst tar kanske dagboksförfattaren sikte på avskapelsen, med ett begrepp hämtat från Simone Weil, i ett försök att skriva sig ut ur sig själv, från sina föreställningar om sig själv, för att ge plats för världen.Nej. Det är inte personen Lars Norén som står i dagböckernas fokus. Snarare handlar det nog om ”att slå sönder den plats där det nya skall komma”, som det står i diktboken Hjärta i hjärta. Kanske går anteckningarna att likna vid de resefotografier som tas som ett sätt för att slippa se, där minnet förvisas såsom till en krypta. Avsikten tycks vara ett skrivande som ett sätt att följa dagen och att skikta tiden, en skrift för att urskilja åtbörderna, för de dagliga sceneriernas ljus- och skuggspel. Ja, kanske skriver han för att undkomma sitt signum, för att i egentlig mening bli Ingenting, en text där namnet och ansiktet måste utelämnas för att överträffas av verket självt.”Dagboken är mitt hem, den enda plats där tiden kan frysas ned för att ge mer tid”, står det i oktober 2005. Skriften som en fördämning mot döden. Och så tar de långa tysta inomhustagningarna vid, laddade med samma sorg och ensamhet som i en Hammershøimålning. Skriftströmmarna tar form av Lethe, glömskans flod, dit någon går med sina intryck och minnen för att kunna förpassa dem. Omvärlden liknar en spegelsal där ansikten och kroppar tas emot med öppen famn för att sedan skjutas ut i små båtar på vattnet. ”Det är som att tända en eld i ett hus fyllt med människor som jag tycker om eller som jag har älskat”, som det står i en anteckning från augusti 2008. Nej. Mycket till hem är det inte.Men vad liknar dagböckerna om de inte liknar ”vårt allmänna avtryck av att finnas till”, för att citera Henri Michaux. Avsikten är att de inte ska föreställa någonting. De ska helst bara bestå av torra utsagor om det mest basala. ”Jag är ett egendomligt redskap, reducerad till funktion och lyssnande, som ett skelett av uppmärksamhet”, står det i november 2005. Men det underbara är att denna föresats hela tiden misslyckas. Skelettet får kött. Det motsägelsefulla blir alstrande: avskapelsens intention omvänds till en flödande skriftflod, rädslan för den poesi som en gång verkade klaustrofobisk och hotade att göra honom sjuk, leder 2016 till en sen och överraskande återkomst till dikten i och med samlingen Stoft. Flöde och fördämning alltså. Men också: ”att slå sönder den plats där det nya skall komma.” Det är som att han alltid rör sig mot slutet, mot språkets gränsposteringar, där språket stelnar och bryts ned och låter någonting nytt och outforskat ta vid.Kanske denna ständiga återkomst till dagböckerna för att jag när en rastlös längtan efter det språk som i verklig mening talar oss, som verkar i en stark förvissning om att världen i någon mån förloras om den framställs som en föregiven berättelse. Förlorad bland detaljerna kan jag sällan redogöra för handling, vare sig i romaner eller film. I stället följer jag de knappt märkbara förskjutningarnas vilt växande rhizom. Jag skiter egentligen i vad som händer i Lars Noréns liv, all lågmänsklig illvilja passerar revy och rinner av mig. Det är det antända språket bland alla vardagsobservationer som jag dras till. I detta grafomaniskt tillåtande prosalandskap finns poesin ständigt närvarande som en våldsam möjlighet, lusten att söka efter dikten förstärks av att den inte ligger färdigställd och uppenbarad. Utsikterna att förirra sig öppnar för en uppmärksam och vårdslös läsning som också bereder plats för att fortsätta skriften.Den som skriver, påpekar Roland Barthes, turnerar bara ett litet antal variabler: Jag åtrår, jag lider, jag älskar, jag vill vara älskad, jag är rädd för att dö. Och det är berättelsen. Men hos Norén handlar det inte om att försöka förstå sitt liv, sin person eller sin plats i världen. Det handlar i större omfattning om att nå fram till ett språk för det som är omöjligt att fånga och omfamna, få begrepp om vad som är värdefullt att tiga om i ett liv. Ja, kanske är det i bristningarna och i bristen som dagböckernas språk tar plats. Det vädjar till oss om sin sanning utanför alla sanningsanspråk. Denna skrift som en berättelse om försvinnande, om någon som betalar med sitt ord för att slippa vara människa. Stavelseansamlingen Lars Norén som vitt ljus, vit hetta, ett spöke på besök hos andra spöken. Och hans skugga färdas, rör sig över dagboksbladen. Eller som han själv skriver: ”När människor har varit här, en kort stund, undrar jag efteråt om de har varit det, om de var verkliga.” Jörgen Lind, poet"En dramatikers dagbok" publicerades i fem volymer på Albert Bonniers förlag mellan 2008 och 2022.

W G Sebald inflytande över den moderna litteraturen är svåröverblickbart, men vari bestod hans storhet? Eva Ström reflekterar över detta och över poängen med Sebalds kontroversiella metod. Ursprungligen publicerad 2022-04-20.Kort före sin död i en bilolycka år 2001 höll den tyske författaren WG Sebald en workshop i skrivande på sitt universitet i East Anglia. Hans studenter samlade sedan sina anteckningar från samtalen till ett antal maximer av det han försökte lära ut. Bland annat sa Sebald: Inget av det som du kan hitta på kan vara så hårresande som det som folk berättar för dig,Jag kan bara uppmuntra er att stjäla så mycket som möjligt, Ingen kommer någonsin märka det.Var inte trädd för att infoga underliga vältaliga citat och ympa in dem i din berättelse. Det berikar texten.Sebald fick ett internationellt genombrott på 90-talet. Susan Sontag hyllade hans säregna prosa, som dock inte var så lätt att karaktärisera. Verk som Svindel. Känslor, Utvandrade, Saturnus ringar och Austerlitz är till synes dokumentära essäer men har fiktiva drag, och de är illustrerade med suddiga fotografier, som i stället för att klargöra oftast ökar mystiken. Författaren tedde sig ändå som en sanningssägare som ville blotta det samhället förtigit, i synnerhet Förintelsen. Men hur mycket kan man lita på hans dokumentära berättande Sebald sa själv: Essän har invaderat romanen. Men vi ska kanske inte lita på de fakta som förekommer.Ingen kommer märka att du stjäl, sa alltså Sebald till sina elever. Men det stämde inte.Den österrikiska judiska flickan Susi Bechhöfer kom tillsammans med sin tvillingsyster vid 3 års ålder i en Kindertransport till Storbritannien och hamnade hos en prästfamilj i Wales, där hon fick ett annat namn. I vuxen ålder uppdagades hennes riktiga namn och hon kunde nysta upp sin tragiska historia. Det gjordes en film om henne, och hon skrev en bok. Detta tog Sebald del av och fogade in i Jacques Austerlitz livsberättelse utan att det någonsin nämndes i verket.Susi Bechhöfer kände igen sin historia som en förlaga till Jacques Austerlitz och hon skrev till författaren som medgav att hon hade rätt.Detta kan man läsa om i "Speak, Silence", den biografi över Sebald där Carole Angier återskapar författarens liv från födelsen i Wertach i Bayern, till tiden i England som universitetslärare i East Anglia fram till dödsolyckan. Sebalds änka har inte velat medverka, men på intet sätt hindrat framväxten av boken, där syskon, vänner och arbetskamrater intervjuats. Framför allt ger Angier en fascinerande bild av Sebalds arbetsmetoder. Han lyckades skapa en halvdokumentär form, där fakta och fiktion ibland byter plats, vilket får materialet att sväva på ett drömlikt sätt och ge läsaren en svindel om man så vill. Ju mer dokumentärt Sebald skrev desto större blir svindeln. Är världen verkligen så underlig och grym? Och ändå så vacker? Susi Bechhöfer var trots allt ganska överseende mot Sebald. Mindre trakterad var konstnären Frank Auerbach, när han läste avsnittet Aurach i boken Utvandrade. Här återsåg han bild av ett av sina egna verk, liksom ett foto av sitt öga. Auerbachs konstnärliga metod bestod i att lägga på färg och sedan skrapa av den, och sedan börja på nytt, i en slitsam arbetsprocess. Detta var en metod som Sebald i detalj beskrev i sitt verk allt hämtat från en biografi om Auerbach. Konstnären vände sig rasande till förlaget, som genast tog bort bilderna och namnet Aurach ändrades till Ferber.Sebald rättfärdigade säkert sitt projekt med att hans egen prosa var en nyskapelse, där han kunde ympa in skott från andras skrivande, biografier, berättelser och också förändra det. I hembyn rasade man mot Sebald och hans mor, som kanske omedvetet försett honom med material. Andra var stolta över att ha bidragit till detta samtida mästerverk, som Peter Jordan, som var den andra förlagan till Aurach. Delar av Jordans mosters dagböcker hade i beskuret skick hamnat i romanen, ibland något omgjorda.Sebalds tillvägagångsätt har inspirerat många författare som Jenny Erpenbeck, Teju Cole, och Rachel Cusk . Vad än han lärde ut till dessa och sina elever fanns det något som de inte kunde tillägna sig, hans mästerliga stil och den aura som hans verk utstrålar. Hans minutiösa prosa med långa, ringlande beskrivande meningar är egendomligt suggestiv.Med sin hybridmetod ville han ge sin blick på världen, en blick som såg fasa och förstörelse, men inte som något kaotiskt utbrott utan snarare som ett pedantiskt organiserat arbete. Så tedde sig ju inte minst Förintelsen. Sebalds far hade tjänstgjort i naziarmén, och hela Sebalds verk kan ses som ett gigantiskt bearbetande av detta trauma och av den småborgerliga, prudentligt lydiga uppväxt som dolt allt detta och som han ville bryta sig loss ifrån.Den autofiktiva prosan har efter Sebald exploderat, och invaderat litteraturen. Den genre som blev hans är nu inte bara hans egen. Det etiskt kontroversiella att ympa in en biografi med främmande element är ymnigt förekommande och kallas inte sällan appropriering. Men även om närmast alla författare stjäl och låter minnen, berättelser, läsefrukter och andras personliga historier ingå i sitt stoff tänk till exempel Selma Lagerlöf så är det ingen som så tydligt låter skarvarna bli synliga, som Sebald.Sebald verkade före internet det är lättare nu att spåra citat, människor, böcker och biografier. Några av de människor vars livshistoria han stal utan att fråga kände sig smickrade andra blev uppriktigt förbannade som Auerbach, och andra som Susi Bechhöfer tyckte att hennes identitet blivit stulen ännu en gång. Något erkännande av Sebalds tacksamhetsskuld kom aldrig till stånd.Men varför kunde då inte Sebald helt enkelt kunnat ge Susi Bechhöfer kredd och nämna att han inspirerats av hennes bok, alternativt Peter Jordans moster, vars dagbok han saxade ur? Eller tala om vilka böcker till exempel om arkitektur han inspirerats av, alternativt klippt stora sjok ur och kanske förändrat här och där.Jag tror svaret är att han då skulle underminerat hela sin konst, sitt verk. Poängen är att man aldrig riktigt som läsare vet om något är sant eller inte. Det är som om han vill säga att allt ändå är en illusion, men texten lyfter och svävar just därför, i den illusionen. Han ville inte skriva gängse essäer, där noter verifierar texten. Han visste förmodligen att detta hans tillvägagångssätt betraktades som oetiskt, men utan denna metod skulle hans verk aldrig ha kommit till. Och Angiers biografi stärker intrycket att hans skrivande var ett sätt för honom att överleva. Det är oerhört tragiskt och hans liv och predikament var på många sätt tragiskt. Det fanns ingen lösning på dilemmat. Och det var genom de här förvanskningarna av fakta som han skapade denna sin sanning om tillvaron. Hans konst är på samma gång ohygglig, vacker och utsökt, och just i denna paradox lever den.Eva Ström, författareLitteraturCarole Angier: Speak, silence in search of W G Sebald.

This week, writer, professor & critic Marina Warner joins the show to talk about her new book about her parents, Esmond and Ilia: An Unreliable Memoir (New York Review Books). She gets into the memory of her father's Cairo bookshop getting burned down in a riot, the huge cache of letters and documents her mother left behind and what it taught her about her mother's life & deep sadness, how this book transitioned from novel to memoir and what novelistic aspects it retained, and why she disagrees with the standard memoir's notion of an integral self. We also talk about transformations from Ovid to COVID, her upcoming work on the concept of sanctuary and her interest in refugees, what it means to be at home in the world and how to give refugees a sense of attachment through imagination, why fairy tales and myth need to be reinterpretable and not fixed in meaning, how it felt to have one of her books cribbed by WG Sebald, how the myrrh bush captured her imagination, and why I think she should watch Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Plus, we discuss the loss of Carmen Callil and the need to champion women writers, her role as the first woman president of the Royal Society of Literature from 2017 to 2021 and the RSL's recent unwillingness to hold an event in support of Salman Rushdie, and a lot more.

Ada Vigliani"Tessiture di sogno"W. G. SebaldAdelphihttps://www.adelphi.it/Traduzione di Ada ViglianiA cura di Sven MeyerSebald si è spesso presentato ai lettori nei panni del viandante saturnino, sulle tracce degli autori prediletti oppure intento a ricostruire le traiettorie di esistenze errabonde e sradicate, attraverso paesaggi sempre vividamente descritti, si tratti del Suffolk o di una città italiana. In realtà è stato soprattutto un viaggiatore nel tempo, perché «occuparsi del passato ... è ciò che fantasmi e scrittori hanno in comune»: e se la Storia obbedisce a leggi imperscrutabili, resta quanto meno la possibilità di cogliere, vagabondando in libertà attraverso il passato, barbagli di una verità che ci sarebbe altrimenti negata. Accade quando Sebald, in Corsica, scopre il tenace rapporto - perturbante per noi che tendiamo a sbarazzarci della memoria come di una zavorra - che lì da sempre si intrattiene con i morti, e in particolare la sorprendente figura dell'acciatore, vero ponte fra la vita e l'aldilà. O quando la cronaca – fissata nei Diari – del viaggio da Praga a Parigi compiuto da Kafka nel 1911 insieme a Max Brod gli si rivela misteriosamente un riverbero dei suoi stessi ricordi, al punto che le varie tappe gli sono «più familiari di quanto lo sia mai divenuto in seguito qualsiasi altro luogo». O, ancora, quando grazie a Nabokov, incarnazione del senso più vertiginoso dell'esilio, comprende che «se vogliamo annullare il tempo possiamo riuscirci solo a patto di rievocare minuziosamente gli oggetti da un pezzo caduti nell'oblio». Laddove, come in queste pagine, l'impresa abbia successo, si attinge infatti «un regno luminoso, appena soffuso di un alito surreale come lo sono tutti i prodigi, e ci si ritrova, per così dire, sulla soglia della rivelazione di una verità assoluta».Ada Vigliani, traduce dal 1982 autori classici e contemporanei, fra i quali Goethe, Schopenhauer, Musil, Canetti, Assmann, Petrowskaja, Erpenbeck e l'opera completa di Sebald. Dal 2008 tiene corsi di traduzione editoriale dal tedesco.

The Friday Newsletter | Daily Gardener Community Historical Events 1868 Birth of Tsar Nicholas II (books about this person), the last Emperor of Russia, King of Congress Poland, and Grand Duke of Finland, ruling from 1 November 1894 until his abdication on 15 March 1917. On his fiftieth birthday on this day in 1918, he was essentially under house arrest by the Bolsheviks along with the rest of his family, the Romanovs (books about this family), in Yekaterinburg "Yek-ah-teerin- borg" (the fourth largest city in Russia) in a private home called Ipatiev ("ee-pah-tee-iv") or the "House of Special Purpose." It would be Nicholas's last birthday. In June, he wrote in his diary "It was unbearable to sit that way, locked up, and not be in a position to go out into the garden when you wanted and spend a fine evening outside." That same month, his wife, Alexandra, wrote, "Out in the garden, fearfully hot, sat under the bushes. They have given us. . . half an hour more for being out. Heat, airlessness in the rooms intense." By the 23rd of June, Alexandra noted the wonder of breathing in the fresh summer air. She wrote, Two of the soldiers came and took out one window in our room. Such joy, delicious air at last, and one window no longer whitewashed. The air in the room became clean and by evening, cool. Nicholas observed, The fragrance from all the town's gardens is amazing. This moment would be one of the family's last happy times. On July 17, 1918, the entire family, including their children and most faithful servants, were brought to the basement and executed. Today there is nothing left of the Ipatiev house. It was demolished in September of 1977, and the land was given to the Russian Orthodox Church. The altar inside a church called the Church on the Blood is on the very spot where the Romanovs died. The beautiful church honors Nicholas and his family, now regarded as saints in the Russian Orthodox Church. 1926 On this day, Ralph Waldo Emerson (books by this author) wrote in his journal: My garden is an honest place. Every tree and every vine are incapable of concealment and tell after two or three months exactly what sort of treatment they have had. The sower may mistake and sow his peas crookedly: the peas make no mistake, but come up and show his line. 1944 Birth of Winfried Georg Sebald ("Say-bald") (books by this author), who went by Max and wrote as W. G. Sebald, German writer and academic. When Max died at 57, he was regarded as one of the greatest authors of his time. His 2001 novel Austerlitz was Sebald's final novel. The book was honored with the National Book Critics Circle Award. In 2019, it ranked 5th on The Guardian's list of the 100 best books of the 21st century. Here's an excerpt: In the warmer months of the year, one or other of those nocturnal insects quite often strays indoors from the small garden behind my house. When I get up early in the morning, I find them clinging to the wall, motionless. I believe, said Austerlitz, they know they have lost their way since if you do not put them out again carefully, they will stay where they are, never moving, until the last breath is out of their bodies. Indeed they will remain in the place where they came to grief even after death, held fast by the tiny claws that stiffened in their last agony until a draft of air detaches them and blows them into a dusty corner. Sometimes, seeing one of these moths that have met their end in my house, I wonder what kind of fear and pain they feel while they are lost. 1955 Death of Mary McLeod Bethune (books about this person), American educator, philanthropist, humanitarian, womanist, and civil rights activist. Mary was the fifteenth child - and the first baby born free - to her newly freed parents, who were enslaved before the Civil War and owned by a different master. Mary's father, Samuel, had worked to "buy" his bride. Most of Mary's older brothers and sisters were sold to other masters. Mary was also the first person in her family to go to school. In 1904, Mary moved to Daytona, Florida. There, she created the Daytona Literary and Industrial School for Training Negro Girls, and within two years, she had 250 students. Without any means, Mary improvised and used sticks of charcoal for pencils, mashed elderberries for ink, and cardboard boxes for tables and chairs. Mary put fifteen dollars in pennies, nickels, and dimes down on a swampy piece of land that served as a garbage dump. It was called Hell's Hole. With the help of benefactors, Mary built a four-story building on the site. Over the main doors were the words "Enter to Learn," and looking up over the same doors upon leaving, students saw the words "Depart to Serve." Mary's school continued to grow until it merged with an all-boys school and became Bethune-Cookman College (B-CC). As the school's first president, Mary reflected, When I walk through the campus, with its stately palms and well-kept lawns, and think back to the dump-heap foundation, rub my eyes and pinch myself. And I remember my childish visions in the cotton fields. Mary became a nationally known speaker, and she often spoke of a people garden, a place where people of all colors grew together in harmony. Initially, Mary was disheartened that there was no black blossom to represent her race and make her people's garden complete. But that all changed when she discovered black flowers in gardens during a visit to Europe. During her visit to Holland, Mary received black tulip bulbs. And after she saw a garden with black roses In Switzerland, she ordered 72 black roses for the grounds at B-CC. The gesture earned Mary a nickname: the black rose. In turn, Mary called her B-CC students her "Black Roses." On this day in 1955, Mary died of a heart attack. Her will ended with this goodbye: I leave you love. I leave you hope. I leave you racial dignity... Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation The Medicinal Forest Garden Handbook by Anne Stobart This book came out in 2020, and the subtitle is Growing, Harvesting, and Using Healing Trees and Shrubs in a Temperate Climate. This book has tons of practical information on using medicinal trees and shrubs for your own self-sufficiency or for-profit - and it's a fantastic book. Before I get into this review, you should know that Anne has tons of direct experience creating her own medicinal forest in England. And she regularly uses herbal medicine in her practice. What's especially exciting about the way Anne has written this book is she is giving us advice for all kinds of spaces, whether you're looking at small gardens or small properties, all the way up to agroforestry. There is so much in this book. Anne reviews her favorite medicinal trees and offers practical advice on incorporating those into your landscape. She shares the kind of shrubs you should consider if you're interested in medicinal plants. She also reveals how to combine woody and other layers of medicinal plants to look good and make sense with other projects that you may have on your property. And Anne also takes us on a deep dive into some of the main medicinal constituents of woody plants and the latest research. You don't always see this information together in one complete guide. Usually, there are drips and drabs in other books. But what I love about what Anne has done is she's put it all together here - All the information you need to make informed decisions about the medicinal trees and shrubs you want to plant on your property. Now, Anne herself points out that many books on forest gardens focus primarily on food. So to have a book that talks about medicinal forest gardens is especially unique and valuable. And so, what Anne is doing here is sharing her wisdom when it comes to harvesting so that you can create your own herbal remedies. And here's what Anne wrote in the foreword to her book. I love herbs and am especially passionate about medicinal trees and shrubs. This book is not only about how you can cultivate and harvest them, but it is also intended to provide you with the basis for creating your own medicinal planting design and herbal preparations. The medicinal forest garden provides a way to grow and harvest healing plants that draw on natural and sustainable processes to make efficient use of resources of light, space, soil, and water. At a time when forests are regarded as key in combatting climate breakdown, what could be better than seizing the opportunity to promote health and biodiversity by planting more medicinal trees and shrubs! And speaking for myself, I can say that I've had a few takeaways after reading Anne's book. I'm installing a mini orchard up at the cabin, and I'm also supplementing my old-growth forest all around the border of my property. And I definitely took some of Anne's tree and shrub recommendations, and I'm incorporating them into my garden plan for this summer. Anyway, I love this whole field. I also appreciate this area of using plants, not only for their ornamental or food value but also for their medicinal value, which was a key driver for the early plant explorers. And so, I think it's excellent to reclaim some of that knowledge. This book is 288 pages of a ton of information. It's broken into two parts. Part One has detailed information on the medicinal applications you can get from trees and shrubs, including designing, growing, harvesting, and creating remedies. And then Part Two gives you a fabulous directory of forty medicinal trees and shrubs. And I bet there will at least be a handful that you'll want to add to your garden in the future. You can get a copy of The Medicinal Forest Garden Handbook by Anne Stobart and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $20. Botanic Spark 1980 On this day, Mount St. Helens erupted. The deadly eruption triggered the largest landslide ever recorded. The Honey Market News reported on the impact on bees and local apiaries: The true impact on honeybees from volcanic ash fallout will take a long time to assess... The Columbia Basin bees died within hours of ash fallout from the St. Helens' eruption on May 18. The second eruption on May 25 caused great stress in the hives in Southwestern Washington. Brood was pushed out, and colonies with new queens introduced 1-2 days prior to the eruptions were killed. Central Washington bees took 3-4 days to die or remove brood from the hives. Bees were affected by ash collecting in the respiratory system, resulting in suffocation or the abrasive action on the body and internal organs, causing loss of moisture and eventual death. Early estimates indicate approximately 12,000 colonies have been affected. Beekeepers were moving colonies out of ash fallout areas. Growers and beekeepers were discussing the availability of bees to pollinate seed crops in the Columbia Basin. Nectar flow had stopped, and heavy syrup feeding was underway. Beeswax cannot be used... because of the abrasive ash residue that can't be removed. ...Bees avoided foraging on anything that was covered by ash fallout. Yet they would go to blossom that had opened since May 19. Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

Krigets smärta är högst närvarande på världens mest prestigefyllda konstevenemang, Venedigbiennalen. Våra reportrar Cecilia Blomberg och Mårten Arndtzén berättar om starka bilder och drabbande möten. FÅR MAN STJÄLA EN ANNAN MÄNNISKAS BERÄTTELSE?"Inget av det som du kan hitta på kan vara så hårresande som det som folk berättar för dig. Jag kan bara uppmuntra er att stjäla så mycket som möjligt." Så sa den tyske författaren WG Sebald till sina universitetsstudenter. Men är det verkligen okej att stjäla någon annans story? Vem äger en berättelse? Och vad säger de som utbildar i konstnärliga yrken i Sverige till sina elever? Hör Tinna Joné, lektor i dokumentärt berättande i film på Stockholms Konstnärliga Högskola, och Sara Gordan, författare och skrivlärare på Biskops-Arnös folkhögskola.RAMADAN SOM KARNEVALDen heliga fastemånaden Ramadan är för många en from och lugn tid, då man avstår från mat och dryck och stillar sig för att komma närmre gud. Men i Egyptens huvudstad Kairo är Ramadan också en kulturell högtid - en karneval! En fest när mörkret sänker sig. Följ med vår reporter Edgar Mannheimer på en promenad kantad av konserter och dansande dervischer.WG SEBALD - EN KONTROVERSIELL INSPIRATÖRFörfattaren WG Sebald skrev ett slags dokumentära essäer där han blandade självbiografiska inslag och fiktion och verkliga livsöden som han snappat upp. Något som han ibland fick kritik för av personer som plötsligt upptäckte sin livs historia i en av hans böcker. Hör författaren Eva Ströms essä om Sebalds betydelse och hans kontroversiella litterära metod.
W G Sebald inflytande över den moderna litteraturen är svåröverblickbart, men vari bestod hans storhet? Eva Ström reflekterar över detta och över poängen med Sebalds kontroversiella metod. Kort före sin död i en bilolycka år 2001 höll den tyske författaren WG Sebald en workshop i skrivande på sitt universitet i East Anglia. Hans studenter samlade sedan sina anteckningar från samtalen till ett antal maximer av det han försökte lära ut. Bland annat sa Sebald: Inget av det som du kan hitta på kan vara så hårresande som det som folk berättar för dig,Jag kan bara uppmuntra er att stjäla så mycket som möjligt, Ingen kommer någonsin märka det.Var inte trädd för att infoga underliga vältaliga citat och ympa in dem i din berättelse. Det berikar texten.Sebald fick ett internationellt genombrott på 90-talet. Susan Sontag hyllade hans säregna prosa, som dock inte var så lätt att karaktärisera. Verk som Svindel. Känslor, Utvandrade, Saturnus ringar och Austerlitz är till synes dokumentära essäer men har fiktiva drag, och de är illustrerade med suddiga fotografier, som i stället för att klargöra oftast ökar mystiken. Författaren tedde sig ändå som en sanningssägare som ville blotta det samhället förtigit, i synnerhet Förintelsen. Men hur mycket kan man lita på hans dokumentära berättande Sebald sa själv: Essän har invaderat romanen. Men vi ska kanske inte lita på de fakta som förekommer.Ingen kommer märka att du stjäl, sa alltså Sebald till sina elever. Men det stämde inte.Den österrikiska judiska flickan Susi Bechhöfer kom tillsammans med sin tvillingsyster vid 3 års ålder i en Kindertransport till Storbritannien och hamnade hos en prästfamilj i Wales, där hon fick ett annat namn. I vuxen ålder uppdagades hennes riktiga namn och hon kunde nysta upp sin tragiska historia. Det gjordes en film om henne, och hon skrev en bok. Detta tog Sebald del av och fogade in i Jacques Austerlitz livsberättelse utan att det någonsin nämndes i verket.Susi Bechhöfer kände igen sin historia som en förlaga till Jacques Austerlitz och hon skrev till författaren som medgav att hon hade rätt.Detta kan man läsa om i "Speak, Silence", den biografi över Sebald där Carole Angier återskapar författarens liv från födelsen i Wertach i Bayern, till tiden i England som universitetslärare i East Anglia fram till dödsolyckan. Sebalds änka har inte velat medverka, men på intet sätt hindrat framväxten av boken, där syskon, vänner och arbetskamrater intervjuats. Framför allt ger Angier en fascinerande bild av Sebalds arbetsmetoder. Han lyckades skapa en halvdokumentär form, där fakta och fiktion ibland byter plats, vilket får materialet att sväva på ett drömlikt sätt och ge läsaren en svindel om man så vill. Ju mer dokumentärt Sebald skrev desto större blir svindeln. Är världen verkligen så underlig och grym? Och ändå så vacker? Susi Bechhöfer var trots allt ganska överseende mot Sebald. Mindre trakterad var konstnären Frank Auerbach, när han läste avsnittet Aurach i boken Utvandrade. Här återsåg han bild av ett av sina egna verk, liksom ett foto av sitt öga. Auerbachs konstnärliga metod bestod i att lägga på färg och sedan skrapa av den, och sedan börja på nytt, i en slitsam arbetsprocess. Detta var en metod som Sebald i detalj beskrev i sitt verk allt hämtat från en biografi om Auerbach. Konstnären vände sig rasande till förlaget, som genast tog bort bilderna och namnet Aurach ändrades till Ferber.Sebald rättfärdigade säkert sitt projekt med att hans egen prosa var en nyskapelse, där han kunde ympa in skott från andras skrivande, biografier, berättelser och också förändra det. I hembyn rasade man mot Sebald och hans mor, som kanske omedvetet försett honom med material. Andra var stolta över att ha bidragit till detta samtida mästerverk, som Peter Jordan, som var den andra förlagan till Aurach. Delar av Jordans mosters dagböcker hade i beskuret skick hamnat i romanen, ibland något omgjorda.Sebalds tillvägagångsätt har inspirerat många författare som Jenny Erpenbeck, Teju Cole, och Rachel Cusk . Vad än han lärde ut till dessa och sina elever fanns det något som de inte kunde tillägna sig, hans mästerliga stil och den aura som hans verk utstrålar. Hans minutiösa prosa med långa, ringlande beskrivande meningar är egendomligt suggestiv.Med sin hybridmetod ville han ge sin blick på världen, en blick som såg fasa och förstörelse, men inte som något kaotiskt utbrott utan snarare som ett pedantiskt organiserat arbete. Så tedde sig ju inte minst Förintelsen. Sebalds far hade tjänstgjort i naziarmén, och hela Sebalds verk kan ses som ett gigantiskt bearbetande av detta trauma och av den småborgerliga, prudentligt lydiga uppväxt som dolt allt detta och som han ville bryta sig loss ifrån.Den autofiktiva prosan har efter Sebald exploderat, och invaderat litteraturen. Den genre som blev hans är nu inte bara hans egen. Det etiskt kontroversiella att ympa in en biografi med främmande element är ymnigt förekommande och kallas inte sällan appropriering. Men även om närmast alla författare stjäl och låter minnen, berättelser, läsefrukter och andras personliga historier ingå i sitt stoff tänk till exempel Selma Lagerlöf så är det ingen som så tydligt låter skarvarna bli synliga, som Sebald.Sebald verkade före internet det är lättare nu att spåra citat, människor, böcker och biografier. Några av de människor vars livshistoria han stal utan att fråga kände sig smickrade andra blev uppriktigt förbannade som Auerbach, och andra som Susi Bechhöfer tyckte att hennes identitet blivit stulen ännu en gång. Något erkännande av Sebalds tacksamhetsskuld kom aldrig till stånd.Men varför kunde då inte Sebald helt enkelt kunnat ge Susi Bechhöfer kredd och nämna att han inspirerats av hennes bok, alternativt Peter Jordans moster, vars dagbok han saxade ur? Eller tala om vilka böcker till exempel om arkitektur han inspirerats av, alternativt klippt stora sjok ur och kanske förändrat här och där.Jag tror svaret är att han då skulle underminerat hela sin konst, sitt verk. Poängen är att man aldrig riktigt som läsare vet om något är sant eller inte. Det är som om han vill säga att allt ändå är en illusion, men texten lyfter och svävar just därför, i den illusionen. Han ville inte skriva gängse essäer, där noter verifierar texten. Han visste förmodligen att detta hans tillvägagångssätt betraktades som oetiskt, men utan denna metod skulle hans verk aldrig ha kommit till. Och Angiers biografi stärker intrycket att hans skrivande var ett sätt för honom att överleva. Det är oerhört tragiskt och hans liv och predikament var på många sätt tragiskt. Det fanns ingen lösning på dilemmat. Och det var genom de här förvanskningarna av fakta som han skapade denna sin sanning om tillvaron. Hans konst är på samma gång ohygglig, vacker och utsökt, och just i denna paradox lever den.Eva Ström, författareLitteraturCarole Angier: Speak, silence in search of W G Sebald.

The Interview:Although he did experience some fanfare in his lifetime, German writer, academic, and novelist W.G. Sebald—Max to his friends and colleagues—died 20 years ago in a car crash near his adoptive home in Norwich, England. He was only 58.His postmodern novels—Vertigo, The Emigrants, The Rings of Saturn and Austerlitz—were written in quick succession in a period of less than 10 years, and they were all published in English translations in less than five years, making him one of Germany's biggest authors, almost overnight. Before his death, Sebald had taught in the British university system for decades, mainly at the University of East Anglia, where he helped found the literary translation department. He really did not begin writing in his signature style—a mix of travelogue, memoir, historical fiction with embedded pictures and ephemera—until middle age, however. Walter Benjamin famously opined that any great writer creates their own genre; Sebald accomplished this with just a brief collection of books. Through his unique, poetic prose style of writing, his books grab hold and immerse readers in a world of memory and loss like no other novelist. Trauma runs through his work and his characters seem so real because, like most fictional creations—at least in part—they are based on real people. Sebald's distinctive style got him into trouble, both when he was alive and certainly posthumously. Some readers have taken issue with his re-purposing of Jewish folks' true-life stories. He has been accused, in some cases, of exploiting these stories for personal gain through novelization. When I first began to read his work, shortly after his death in 2001, I interpreted his work to be an homage to the Jewish lives he chronicled, written by a German who grew up in the shadow, silence, and shame of the horrors of WWII. Sebald's father was a military man—a Nazi officer during the war and a member of the re-constituted German army in the post-war years. Sebald grew up in the beatific surroundings of Bavaria in Germany and had a deep hatred for the Nazi regime and his own family's complicity. The fate of the Jews—and other minorities targeted by the Nazi war machine—is a mournful thread that Sebald tears at throughout all of his novels. He also wrote a nonfiction study of the bombings of German cities, entitled On the Natural History of Destruction.Enter biographer Carole Angier, whose previous books include studies of novelist Jean Rhys and Italian physicist and writer Primo Levi. Angier, who grew up in Canada before returning to the UK, is of Viennese descent. She is also Jewish and roughly the same age Sebald would have been had he lived. It took her seven years to finish Speak, Silence (Bloomsbury, 2021). The title, of course, a nod to Nabokov's famous memoir, Speak, Memory, one of Sebald's favorite books. Angier and I caught up recently to discuss her 600-plus-page doorstopper of a book. One of the reasons I wanted to talk with her about it—apart from my longtime love of Sebald—was to ask for her thoughts on the controversy his work still seems to generate, even 20 years after his death. A great deal of the reviews of Speak, Silence, in the States at least, were hyper-critical of Sebald playing fast and loose with some facts in his fiction. But all great fiction writers pluck characteristics and facts to shape their fictional worlds and, so, while Sebald's use of real photographs and ephemera in his work for visual effect made his narrative style offensive to some, it also made it more potent for others. In this interview, Angier speaks to this subject, and many more.The Reading:For the reading, we pulled audio from an event at the 92nd Street Y from 2001, where Sebald read from his then newest novel Austerlitz. He was tragically killed in a car crash later that year. Music by Tangerine Dream92Y Reading link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccMCGjWLlhY&t=1620s
While nominally a fiction writer, W.G. Sebald's work remains theoretically prescient. Long before social media, he understood the suspicious anxiety inherent to learning about the world over social media. His works embrace this unease, accepting the unreliability of all individual sources, but also the obligation to make sense of them.

Joining us on this episode of Between the Lines is Dr Dan Harwood to discuss Rings of Saturn by W.G. Sebald. Dan is a consultant in old age psychiatry at Croydon Memory Service. What begins as the record of W. G. Sebald's own journey on foot through coastal East Anglia, from Lowestoft to Bungay, becomes the conductor of evocations of people and cultures past and present. From Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, to fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms, the result is an intricately patterned and haunting book on the transience of all things human.
„Ist wahre literarische Größe noch immer möglich?“, so fragte sich die amerikanische Star-Schriftstellerin Susan Sontag im „Times Literary Supplement“, und antwortete sich selbst: Ja, und zwar im Werk des rätselhaften Autors W.G. Sebald. Dessen erstes auf Englisch erschienenes Buch, „The Emigrants“ („Die Ausgewanderten“), wurde mit nur diesem einen Satz zum Bestseller. Sebald, der in Freiburg studierte hatte, avancierte in den USA binnen kurzer Zeit neben Kafka zum berühmtesten deutschen Schriftsteller. Er galt vor seinem frühen Unfalltod 2001 und nach Veröffentlichung seines Meisterwerks „Austerlitz“, laut dem „Guardian“ unter den fünf besten Büchern des 21. Jahrhunderts, als Favorit für den nächsten Literaturnobelpreis. Ben Lerner, Rachel Cusk und Teju Cole zählen zu seinen Verehrern. In Deutschland, dessen Nazi-Vergangenheit mitsamt der Menschheitsverbrechen des Holocausts im Mittelpunkt von Sebalds Schreiben steht, ist dieser nach England ausgewanderte Autor weniger legendär. Aber das dürfte sich mit Carole Angiers Biografie „Speak, Silence: In Search of W.G. Sebald“, auf Deutsch in Kürze im Hanser Verlag, bald ändern: Die mit dem „Writers‘ Guild Award for Non-Fiction“ ausgezeichnete Biografin von Jean Rhys und Primo Levi erzählt das mysteriöse Leben und von Melancholie durchwirkte Werk des Allgäuers und Exil-Engländers auf schwer vergessliche Weise. Angiers Recherchen über Sebalds literarische Praxis, auf Grundlage von realen Schicksalen fiktionale Erzählungen zu entwickeln, sorgen für aufgeheizte Feuilleton-Debatten auf beiden Atlantikseiten. Prof. Torsten Hoffmann, Germanist an der Universität Stuttgart und Herausgeber von Sebalds Interviews, spricht dann mit uns darüber, was dessen Werk – befasst mit der Zerstörungskraft unserer Spezies – heute noch topaktuell macht.

W.G. Sebald has been described as “a writer of almost unclassifiable originality”. He wrote about the plight of emigrants, and in particular, emigrants from the Holocaust. His obsessions included survivor's guilt, the nature of decline and fall, loss and decay, and the downward plunge of nature and history. I discussed Sebald's life and work with his biographer Carole Angier.
Link mua sách: https://shorten.asia/hd27heYu Tác giả W.G.Sebald (1944-2001) là một trong những nhà văn, học giả người Đức quan trọng sau Thế chiến Thứ hai. Các tác phẩm của ông xoay quanh chủ đề người Đức và ký ức, sự lãng quên và những thương tổn tinh thần trong thời hậu chiến. Ngoài ra, ông còn viết về sự hủy diệt, mất mát của các nền văn minh, của truyền thống và các biểu trưng lịch sử văn hóa thông qua những vật thể. Văn chương của ông được giới phê bình, học thuật đánh giá cao. Một cái tên - Austerlitz là tác phẩm thứ tư và cũng là tiểu thuyết cuối cùng của ông trước khi ông đột ngột qua đời trong vụ tai nạn xe hơi năm 2001. Đây là một cuốn sách đầy thử thách nhưng rất đáng đọc. Phong cách văn chương dị thường của Sebald đã được thể hiện qua tác phẩm này: súc tích, cổ điển nhưng thu hút người đọc và đưa họ vào cuộc hành trình xuyên lịch sử châu Âu đầy lôi cuốn. Được sự cho phép của Phanbook, Trạm Radio trích đọc một phần nội dung cuốn sách Một cái tên - Austerlitz của W. G. Sebald do Phanbook phát hành.

The boys close Season 2 with a grand fête centered around W.G. Sebald's The Rings of Saturn. They try to discern if the book is fiction or memoir or whatever else it might be, talk about its elliptical style, and dive into its sense of history and image. Then, in one final Postmodern Food Factory, the boys come back -- like dogs returning to their vomit -- to try the Bud Light Ugly Sweater Seltzer Pack. Bad times are had by all. Theme music: "Shostakovich," by Mucca Pazza.
Just because you bought a copy of W.G. Sebald's The Emigrants in the fiction section doesn't make it fiction. Or does it? Join Nathan, David, and Nick for a conversation about fiction vs. non-fiction vs. creative non-fiction vs. journalism vs. memoir vs. Nick's favorite genre of “who cares as long as you like it." Topics discussed also include: the way reading about memory triggers one's own memory, the Nabokovian butterfly man, and a Sebaldian account of recommending Sebald to others. The Books of Some Substance crew wish you the happiest of holidays. May you spend them reading and thinking about a man who walks around thinking about the things he's read.

Mit «Il Ritorno in Patria» schuf W. G. Sebald ein Stück Weltliteratur. Die autobiografisch anmutende Erzählung handelt vor allem von der Sehnsucht nach Heimat – und von der unerbittlichen Gegenwart der Erinnerung. Zu Sebalds 20. Todestag gibt es erstmalig eine Hörspielfassung des Textes. Ein Ausgewanderter kehrt nach dreissig Jahren in seine Heimat zurück, ins kleine Allgäuer Dorf Wertach. Er will überprüfen, «ob das, was in meiner Fantasie von diesem Ort noch existiert, tatsächlich auffindbar ist». Einzig seiner Schulfreundin Anna gibt er sich zu erkennen, sie lebt noch immer im gleichen Haus wie damals. Gemeinsam beschwören die beiden die Welt der Kindheit, und der Besuch gerät zur Reise ins Totenreich. Sie treffen auf Wiedergänger wie den Onkel Peter, der dem Pfarrer eine Waldkanzel bauen will, damit der den Bäumen predigen kann. Oder die Schwestern Babett, Bina und Mathild, die ein Café führen, in das nie jemand hineingeht. Auch die anderen Figuren – Bauern, Holzknechte und ein Landarzt – scheinen einem heimelig-unheimlichen Volkstheater entstiegen zu sein. Und zu allem Überfluss begleitet den Erzähler während der ganzen Reise ein gespenstischer Schatten, ein Doppelgänger, der sich mit düsteren Vorhersagen zu Wort meldet. Am Ende stirbt ein Jäger, ein krankes Kind kommt gerade noch mit dem Leben davon – und eine unerwartete Einsicht treibt den Ausgewanderten zum zweiten Mal zur Flucht aus der Heimat. Mit: August Zirner (Erzähler), Crescentia Dünsser (Anna Ambroser), Paul Bartdorff (Max), Catalina Bartdorff (Anna, jung), Monica Anna Cammerlander (Bedienerin), Christian Heller (Holzknecht), Jürg Kienberger (Dr. Piazolo), Händl Klaus (Tiroler Polizist), Karl Knaup (Bauer Erd), Martin Ostermeier (Zollbeamter), Mona Petri (Fräulein Rauch), Seraphina Schweiger (Romana), Gabi Striegl (Rezeptionistin) sowie W. G. Sebald (Wanderer) Musik: Cico Beck - Tontechnik: Basil Kneubühler - Dramaturgie: Wolfram Höll- Hörspielbearbeitung und Regie: Ralf Bücheler und Johannes Mayr - Produktion: SRF/ORF 2021 - Dauer: ca. 55' Das Hörspiel steht bis am 10.12.2022 zum Nachhören zur Verfügung.
Prozy W.G. Sebalda są w Polsce regularnie, od lat, tłumaczone i wydawane budując temu niemieckiemu pisarzowi coraz większe grono fanek i fanów. Co sprawia, że ten spokojny, oszczędny wykładowca, który w swoim dorobku ma zaledwie cztery książki prozatorskie rozpala literacki apetyt i umie kolejne roczniki czytelników nakłonić do patrzenia na świat swoimi oczami. O fenomenie Sebalda Anna Karczewska rozmawia z Adamem Lipszycem.
In this episode, friend of the podcast and book club Eric Heiman joins David and Nathan to talk about W.G. Sebald's Rings of Saturn. The three get into the melancholic depiction of entropy eating away so much of human life, the sense of historical vertigo, and the (un)fictionality of the novel. Join the three as they discuss the style, form, and substance of Sebald's enigmatic work.
German election results are in, and they mark a new era for Germany. On 26 September, Germans headed to the polls to vote in one of the most unpredictable elections since Angela Merkel took office over a decade and a half ago. Now, Germany will have to endure weeks – or possibly months – of fraught coalition talks before a new government can be formed. In this week's World in 30 Minutes episode, host Mark Leonard talks with Jeremy Cliffe, international editor of the New Statesman, Jana Puglierin, head of ECFR's Berlin Office, Lykke Friis, ECFR co-chair and Director of the Danish Think Tank Europa, and Sylvie Kauffmann, editorial director of Le Monde, about the fragmented election result and its implications for Europe. What coalition – the ‘traffic light', ‘Jamaica' or ‘grand' – is most likely? How are the results being perceived throughout Europe? And what do they mean for the future of our continent?

Ben Luke talks to Tacita Dean, whose 16mm and 35mm films, drawings on blackboard, photogravures, collages, sound works and found object pieces form one of the most poetic bodies of work in contemporary art. Dean was born in 1965 in Canterbury in the UK, but for most of her life as an artist has lived outside of Britain, first in Berlin, which has provided the location for some of her most compelling works, and now between the German capital and Los Angeles. As the three-venue group of museum shows she had in London in 2018 proved, Dean has a deep engagement with the traditional genres of art, making numerous moving portraits on film, as well as stirring and lyrical works exploring landscape, seascape and cityscape. Although film is her primary medium, her works are intimately connected in form and content. Her films regularly have a distinctive painterly quality, evoke the process of collage, and relate directly to her drawings. In this podcast she talks about her love of film as a medium, the pioneering techniques she uses, her encounters with the work of Giotto, with Cy Twombly and Julie Mehretu, and the influence of writers including WG Sebald and JG Ballard. She also discusses her work for The Dante Project, a new production at the Royal Opera House in London with choreography by Wayne McGregor and music by Thomas Adès, for which she has provided the costumes and set designs. Plus, she responds to the ultimate questions we ask all our guests: if you could live with just one work of art what would it be? And what is art for? This episode is sponsored by Bloomberg Connects.

Name: Emily Reading: The Rings of Saturn, W. G. Sebald Why did you want to read this? I was loaned Rings of Saturn on a trip to Norway. At that time, I had never been truly alone in a foreign country. As I was walking along the shore of Sydspissen, Tromsø coming to terms with the loneliness and isolation I felt, The Rings of Saturn proved a curious companion. It combines two of my favourite things; travel and rambling meditations on seemingly unrelated things. It's a book that feeds my curiosity, is thought provoking, poignant and bewildering at times. Essentially, a jumble of things that reflect the jumbled state of my emotions in early 2014 and late 2020. How did you record yourself? In my very patient boyfriend's makeshift studio in our spare room.

This is a preview of a bonus episode we published on Patreon as part of our series of WG Sebald's 'Austerlitz', subscribe to our Patreon to subscribe and get access to our back catalogue of bonus episodes. In this bonus episode we talked about the films of Patrick Keiller, specifically 'London' (1994) and 'Robinson in Space' (1997), a pair of meticulously observed polemical psycho-geographies, exploring the derangements and idiosyncrasies of Britain in the Long 90s. Like in the work of Sebald, a narrator stands in for Keiller, and relates to us the strange beliefs and worldview of his interlocutor, Robinson. Keiller's exploration is laboured with literary accretions, wry observations about the decline and fall of Great Britain, and more than a little righteous anger. Edited by Matthew Lloyd Roberts.

Patricia Lockwood and André Aciman share their sense of the way digital media, and the layers of history press in on our sense of the present moment as they talk about their new books with presenter Laurence Scott. Patricia Lockwood is a poet and author of the memoir Priestdaddy. Her new novel No One is Talking About This considers the way a world saturated by social media memes, 24/7 news and doom scrolling can become fractured by a health emergency. André Aciman, author of Call Me By Your Name and editor of the Proust Project – looks at writers including WG Sebald and Constantine Cavafy and the films of Eric Rohmer and what the present tense means to writers who can't grasp the here and now in his new Essay collection Homo Irrealis. Producer: Torquil MacLeod You can find a playlist of Prose and Poetry on the Free Thinking programme website featuring interviews with authors including Olivia Laing https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b7mryz Umberto Eco https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06qmcqn Rebecca Solnit https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0008wc1 Ben Lerner, Derek Owusu and J J Bola https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000b0mx Teju Cole https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07yb85h
In our first episode of 2021 we discussed Austerlitz, WG Sebald's last novel, published just months before he died in a tragic accident. The novel is concerned with memory and trauma, explored through the life of Jacques Austerlitz, an architectural historian who has repressed his childhood memories of fleeing Prague as a refugee on the Kindertransport. Through Austerlitz's process of remembering and discovering his history, and the fate of his parents in Nazi concentration camps, the book explores the challenges of remembering and representing the Holocaust. It is a deeply architectural novel, concerned with different ways of understanding the historical agency of architecture, and the power that space and material culture have on the formation of memory and the process of remembering.

Verlust und verschwindende Welten, Kriege und Krisen waren zentrale Themen des deutschen Schriftstellers und Literaturwissenschaftlers W.G. Sebald. Von Elke Heinemann www.deutschlandfunk.de, Das Feature Hören bis: .. Direkter Link zur Audiodatei
With Three Rings: A Tale of Exile, Narrative, and Fate (UVA Press), Daniel Mendelsohn has written one of my favorite books of 2020. We get into Homer's use of Ring Composition and how it shapes Three Rings, how this book grew out of his experience writing An Odyssey, why he chose François Fénelon, Eric Auerbach, and WG Sebald as the three exiled subjects of his book, and how we understand the relationship between "what happened" and "the story of what happened" (that is, how narration changes the nature of facts). We also get into how he managed to compress and capture just about all of his major themes in his briefest book, why Auerbach disliked ring composition, and what it says about Homeric vs. Hebrew — or optimistic vs. pessimistic — styles of story, how every story has more stories embedded in it, and why Istanbul may serve as the fusion of Athens & Jerusalem. We also get into Daniel's pandemic experience and coping mechanisms for anxiety and dread, his mom's involvement in Ken Burns' upcoming documentary about the Holocaust in America, why translation is like a crossword puzzle for him, the negatives of focusing on STEM to the detriment of the liberal arts, and how we can both relate to Auerbach's comment, “If it had been possible for me to acquaint myself with all the work that has been done on so many subjects, I might have never reached the point of writing.” Follow Daniel on Twitter and Instagram • More info at our site • Support The Virtual Memories Show via Patreon or Paypal
Christopher MacLehose brought WG Sebald, José Saramago, Haruki Murakami, Claudio Magris, Javier Marías, Jin Yong and many others to English-language readers. He is credited as having launched the bestselling genre of crime fiction in translation now known as “Nordic Noir”. In 1984 you published Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Høeg, followed by Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander's series in the 1990s a.k.a. “the father of Nordic noir”, Jo Nesbo in the 2000s, and Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Why do Scandinavians write such great crime fiction? As a consistently passionate advocate of fine literature in translation throughout your career, what in your view makes a good translation, and what makes it last? Tune in to find out more . . .

W.G. Sebalds Roman "Austerlitz" aus dem Jahr 2001 ist eine packende und tiefgreifende Suche nach persönlicher und kollektiver Erinnerung. Der Kunsthistoriker Jaques Austerlitz lässt sich durch das nächtliche London treiben und erhält plötzlich einen Hinweis, der seine vergessene Kindheit und das Schicksal seiner Eltern entschlüsselt. Eine Rezension

The third episode in the series finds us back on the rural railways, from Norwich to Lowestoft. Commissioned by Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery 'Sebaldsound' acts as a complimentary audio piece to the 2019 exhibition 'Lines of Sight' about the artist W G Sebald. In this episode 'Lines of Sight' curator Nick Warr talks to artist and academic Guy Moreton about the landscape, Sebald's life and work, whilst travelling on part of the journey featured in Sebald's much revered book 'The Rings of Saturn'.

After a good (omen) time last episode, this week we venture to a darker side by delving into World War II, exploring all things in bombings, mutti's in suitcases, and marital affairs. First up is "The Aftermath" by Rhidian Brook, which explores the British occupation of Hamburg--which was nearly razed to the ground in one weekend of bombings--directly after the end of WWII. If the title sounds a little familiar, you may be thinking of the 2019 movie by the same name which of course, we watched to review and contrast. In both cases, we sort of wished the Tom Collins cocktail we drank along with it had been a double. Or a triple. Rounding out the episode is a nonfiction collection of essays and lectures by WG Sebald entitled, "On The Natural History of Destruction". This was paired with a nice German Reisling, but unfortunately, nothing can soften the blow of the true horror stories from this war. With all these cheerful stories in mind, the team here at Lit & Liquor wishes you all a very happy Thanksgiving!
W.G. Sebald's book The Rings of Saturn, first published in Germany in 1995, is the subject of this episode. Joining John and Andy to walk around this enigmatic masterpiece are the writer and swimmer Philip Hoare and the novelist Jessie Greengrass. Other books under discussion are The Years by Annie Ernaux and Fiona Benson's award-winning poetry collection Vertigo & Ghost.

Satire can be the last, best way to critique difficult topics, and Ryan Chapman's blistering novel, RIOTS I HAVE KNOWN, takes on, among other things, incarceration, literature's standing in the culture, and intellectual pretension. He and James talk novellas, using contemporary cultural references, writing to a melody, and publishing a book after working in the field.

W.G. Sebalds forfatterskap står i en særstilling i moderne europeisk litteratur. Fra debutboka "Nach der Natur" (1988) og til "Austerlitz", som utkom noen måneder før forfatterens død i desember 2001, ble Sebald gjentatte ganger, og stadig oftere, løftet fram som en av det 20. århundrets siste store forfattere av en mengde begeistrede kritikere, fra James Wood til Susan Sontag – som brukte Sebald som bevis på at "litterær storhet" enda fantes. Så hva slags bøker er det snakk om? Sebald er mest kjent for de fire prosabøkene "Vertigo" (1990), "De utvandrede" (1992), "Saturns ringer" (1995) og "Austerlitz". Bøkene lar seg ikke kategorisere: De er vel så mye reiseskildringer, essays, biografier, historiske verker og fabler som romaner eller novellesamlinger. Fortløpende føres dialoger med litteratur- og kulturhistorien, ofte i form av stjålne sitater, antydninger, henvisninger, fra forfattere som Kafka, Benjamin, Walser, Borges og Wittgenstein. Sjangerkrysningen forlenges av en utstrakt bruk av fotografier, og av en virkelighetsnærhet som setter bøkenes begrep om "historie" og "sannhet" på spill. Og nettopp historie, sannhet, tid og erindring er sentrale begreper: På ulike og samtidig svært like vis kretser bøkene inn relasjonen mellom fortid og nåtid, mellom individ og samfunn, mellom skriving og liv, og, i sentrum av det hele, spørsmålet om Tysklands posisjon i det 20. århundret. I vårt siste arrangement for semesteret inviterer Litteratur på Blå til en samtale om W.G. Sebalds forfatterskap. I panelet sitter Espen Ingebrigtsen, postdoktor ved Universitetet i Bergen og forfatter av Sebald-studien "Bisse im Sacktuch", og Ingrid Nielsen, poet og førsteamanuensis ved Universitetet i Stavanger. Samtalen ledes av Even Teistung fra Litteratur på Blå.

W. G. Sebald's story about a man trying to recover his memories as a refugee child in WW2 is important to us today, explains Dr Mereid Puw Davis.

W. G. Sebald, one of the most prominent German-speaking authors of the late 20th century, has been discussed in German literary studies again and again. Nonetheless, many questions about him and his work remain open. In her dissertation Post-Catastrophic Poetics (Post-Katastrophische Poetik [Wilhelm Fink, 2016]), Luisa Banki, postdoc at the University of Wuppertal, challenges common assumptions about Sebald. By putting him in comparison with Walter Benjamin, she argues that Sebald’s narrator is driven by what she calls “paranoia,” which basically means he sees all sorts of connections and meanings in everything whether they are there or not. According to Banki, Sebald’s texts are not only structured by melancholia – as the majority of interpreters claim – but also by this intense, imaginative watchfulness.

For April, we covered W.G. Sebald's Austerlitz, a dense yet moving novel about a man discovering his stolen past. The book's themes get a little heavy at times, but thankfully our rowdy chat is always ready to help lighten the mood. Talking points include death by pun, stolen time, and Craig's "real" name.

On our 16th episode, we fall at the feet of W.G. Sebald, a German writer and academic whose work "The Rings of Saturn" blew us away with its haunting voice, genre-exploding form, and dizzying presentation of history, memory and memoir. We discuss the careful layering of connections and inter-textual references Sebald wove into "The Rings of Saturn," as well as his take on historical discourse and the role memory plays on individuals as well as collective consciousness. From the book's title to beetles, connections are discovered and marveled at, and we believe you will be as excited as we are about this writer and his unique vision. Don't forget to check out our website, www.thecasualacademic.com, where you'll find all of our episodes for your listening pleasure, as well as our new featured article on Thomas Mann's "Death in Venice."

Austerlitz (Random House)What Thomas Mann was to the 1940's and Albert Camus to the 1950's probably places the German writer W. G. Sebald in relation to our new century. In this conversation, Sebald describes the source of his rare prose tone and explores the invisible presence of the concentration camps in his work.
