A review by buddhafish
After Nature by Michael Hamburger, W.G. Sebald
3.0
28th book of 2020.
I already think I need to re-read this. It is comprised of three prose poems, the first about a 16th century painter, the next an 18th century naturalist and the last, Sebald himself in Germany. I read it quickly and maybe it deserves slower reading. I'll read it a few more times this week maybe, aloud. There are some beautiful lines and images, as expected from Sebald. I plan to read more of his novels shortly, having only read The Rings of Saturn
