Recenzii
A remarkable biography . . . The first major study of revered author and academic WG Sebald reveals an obsessive and brilliant mind . . . In her long and scholarly book, a testament to the powers of research and detailed dissection, Angier has presented a remarkable portrait of a writer consumed by work
Meticulously researched . The brilliance of [this] biography, a spectacularly agile work of criticism as well as a feat of doggedly meticulous research, lies in Angier's ability to look her subject straight in the eye while holding on to the sense of adoration that made her want to write it in the first place
The product of years of sleuthing . Angier's openness about the difficulties she has encountered in trying to untangle [Sebald's] enigma if anything adds to her portrait . The portrait which ultimately emerges convinces: of a tormented man, an isolated misfit, riven by self-doubt, who wrote to stave off depressive breakdowns and even madness and suicidal impulses
It is a considerable achievement to unpick, so convincingly, mysteries Sebald has taken care to contrive. And to do it with such respect, and indeed generosity, that the great originals are burnished
Speak, Silence is an extraordinary achievement. Carole Angier has been able to capture the genius of Sebald without trapping him in facile definitions, allowing his portrait the many hues and changing angles that those who knew him will recognize as profoundly true
Sebald once wrote to me that he would just like to be "a guardian of the lesser domains". His work is enough, but this enticing and thorough book on his life and art proves that he was, in spite of his tragic and early death, an absolute master of the highest domains of literature
Carole Angier extends the scope of biography by turning her intense admiration for Sebald's work into a personal quest for this enigmatic and disturbing writer
A biographer of great sympathy
Enthralling . . . I was exhilarated from start to finish, by subject, style and substance. It is the best biography I have read in years
A suitably unorthodox life of this singular writer . . . Angier's strategy pays off: this is an insightful, compulsively readable book
W.G. Sebald so deliberately and cunningly blurs the boundaries between fact and fiction in his books that every reader longs for a clear-eyed guide to what is invented and what is 'real', while at the same time dreading the damage this might do to the delicate webs he weaves. Carole Angier's tireless detective work has cleared up many of the mysteries, both in his life and in his work, while her critical acumen and manifest admiration for the latter ensures that it emerges enhanced rather than diminished from her labours. A riveting book
Remarkable, the definitive biography . . . Deeply researched, subtle, sympathetic
An acute literary intelligence . . . The reader comes to trust instinctively Angier's assessments
Allows us to see Levi's life in its full historical meaning
Marvellous and visionary . . . Remarkable in all senses of the word
Angier writes with brio and occasional brilliance . . . By the end, I felt convinced that she had got to the heart of Levi
