Review
The images...set up a mysterious dialogue with the text, rather like the photos Sebald inserted into his novels.--Adam Kirsch
A totally original book of poems...haunting, profound, nonsensical, surreal--at moments even painful.
The drawings along with Sebald's text play with serious themes in a European tradition that has all but vanished.--George Porcari
The magic of W. G. Sebald's incandescent body of work continues to unfold, with this unexpected collaboration.--Susan Sontag
Now this poem of gazes has become a memorial, a bequeathal...this legacy of his has the density of epitaphs.--Andrea Köhler
