A review by tinaargh
The Rings of Saturn by W.G. Sebald

4.0

First off, I bought this book without knowing that the original was in German, otherwise I obviously would not have read it in English. I bought it because The Times called Sebald “the Joyce of the 21st century” and while I can understand where they are coming from, after reading this book I have to disagree. Other than with Joyce I really felt pleasure reading this and the text was not only approachable but I felt like I was taken on a journey with an incredibly interesting companion.
