Literary scholar and translator Kasper Green Munk, PhD in literary history, takes a closer look at the work of W. G. Sebald, one of the most important writers of recent decades. Sebald's enigmatic narratives about history's forgotten victims have captivated readers around the world and inspired writers, musicians, filmmakers and visual artists alike.
The lecture draws on Sebald's own childhood memories of southern Germany in the shadow of the Second World War. It is a chance to gain deeper insight into his books, including Austerlitz, The Rings of Saturn, The Emigrants and After Nature.
