Vrtoglavica

Vrtoglavica

Winfried G. M. Sebald

Sebald is not just a storyteller. His narrative process offers a model of consciousness that tells us: to be fully aware of oneself is to suffer from incurable vertigo.

A feeling of dizziness and irritation – in four enigmatic stories interwoven with repetition of motifs and literary allusions – overwhelms the narrator whenever a split between memory and reality threatens. On his lonely, eccentric journey from England to Italy and beyond, the hero of this book slowly sinks into the dizzying un(un)reality of memories. What is Sebald writing about? It is half a story, half a travelogue in which reflections on Stendhal's unrequited love, Pisanello's art, a series of murders by a mysterious organization, Casanova, Kafka's story about a haunted hunter, a closed pizzeria in Verona are interwoven: from them emerges a poignant and unforgettable reading by a unique writer who is impossible to imitate or compare. Biography, autobiography, thriller, memories of childhood, legends, horror stories, all of this is collected and united on these pages, undefinable by genre, all the more seductive.
