EppsNet Book Reviews; The Emigrants by W.G. Sebald

 

I can’t come up with a better synopsis than this article from the Boston Review:

Each of these men suffers from memory and from the compulsion to obliterate it; from a mourning and melancholia so deep that it is almost unnamable; from the knowledge that he has survived while those he loved have not; from problems distinguishing dream and reality; from a profound sense of displacement.

Highly recommended!
