A diaphanous book of memory, containing the whole weight of 20th century Europe. It's amazing how Sebald does this stuff -- there are glimpses of horror seething under the surface, but the narrative itself is as calm as a pond on a windless day. His books are a kind of talking cure for unspeakable terror. Makes you think humanity might have a chance after all.
