A review by marno_klass
Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald
4.0
Brilliant book. Sebald's exploration of themes of memory and disintegration are helpful and compelling. His addition of images is fascinating and alluring. I would recommend this book to the right person.
That said, it is certainly not for everyone - the structure is odd and sometimes offputting (though important for Sebald's project). Anyone who wants a standard plot structure (or even a climax or a narrator with a name) should look elsewhere for their next read.
