WG Sebald -Has any1 read?

[faith]

I was just wondering if anybody (else) has read something by WG Sebald (a German writer). Im particulary interested about the book The Emigrants (Die Ausgewanderten). I am supposed to read that book for the entrance examination to comparative literature at the university. So, if u've read the book, what do u think are the themes? Just wondering what u think, cos I have my own ideas...

Hi faith,

I haven't read the book but a google search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2005-12%2CGGLD%3Aen&q=The+Emigrants+by+WG+Sebald+&btnG=Search) returns good result and some look quite promising.
