W. G. Sebald has 5 past events. (show)  Literarischer Salon - In die Ferne reisen Dani Mangisch liest „ Die Ringe des Saturn“ (1995) von W. G. SebaldMusik: Speedy W. G. Sebald wandert durch die einsame Heidelandschaft der englischen Grafschaft Suffolk und stößt immer wieder auf die Spuren wundersamer Geschichten. Er besichtigt verfallene Landschlösser, erzählt von den Glanzzeiten viktorianischer Schlösser, berichtet aus dem Leben Joseph Conrads, erinnert an die unglaubliche Liebe des Vicomte de Chateaubriand oder spürt dem europäischen Seidenhandel bis China nach.
Dabei handelt es sich bei der Wanderung nicht um eine wirkliche Wallfahrt oder Reise, sondern um eine Gedankenexkursion, ein Sammelsurium von assoziativ verknüpften Spuren des Verfalls und der Zerstörung.

He studied Polish Literature at Warsaw University and wrote his PhD on the Polish translations of Philip Larkin. Dehnel presents Saturnus, a fictionalized version of the personal life of the great Spanish painter Goya. The story is built around the theory that Goya's horrific series of Black Paintings were in fact the work of his son Javier, and were Javier's way of expressing his feelings about his father.

His reviews and articles have appeared in the Toronto Star, Quill & Quire, The Globe and Mail, Elle Canada, Men's Fashion, Sharp and Rue Morgue.

Christos Tsiolkas is an author, playwright, essayist and screenwriter. His novel The Slap won the Commonwealth Writer’s Prize, the Australian Literature Society Gold Medal and the Vance Palmer Prize for Fiction, and was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize.

For July, the group discuses W. G. Sebald's novel Austerlitz, named one of the Best Books of 2001 by by the Los Angeles Times, New York Magazine, and Entertainment Weekly. Austerlitz is the story of a man’s search for the answer to his life’s central riddle. A small child when he comes to England on a Kindertransport in the summer of 1939, Jacques Austerlitz is told nothing of his real family by the Welsh Methodist minister and his wife who raise him. When he is a much older man, fleeting memories return to him, and obeying an instinct he only dimly understands, Austerlitz follows their trail back to the world he left behind a half century before. There, faced with the void at the heart of twentieth-century Europe, he struggles to rescue his heritage from oblivion.
