View through CrossRef
In this chapter, Schütte considers The Rings of Saturn as Sebald’s masterpiece. He presents the book as much more than a portrayal of Suffolk and its environs, instead a work that freely crosses genres such as autobiography, biography, travelogue and meditative essay.It explores many of Sebald’s literary preoccupations including human’s natural history of destruction, and the author’s belief in the Holocaust as not a singular, incommensurable event, but part of a recurrent chain of disasters we all have a degree of guilt for.
