- English abstract
- The volume comprises specially commissioned essays in both German and English which address important gaps in Sebald scholarship. Though the critical reception of Sebald’s work can be described as enormous, it tends to focus on the same books and themes. This volume, which includes several essays based on unpublished archive material, deals with ignored topics and disregarded texts that provide novel, surprising insights into his biography and literary work. This is particularly true of Schütte’s chapter on the Kant project, an unpublished, experimental film script that represents Sebald’s (failed) attempt to establish himself as a writer.
