Po przeczytaniu opisu na tylnej okładce założyłam sobie, jak mniej więcej będzie wyglądać książki. Cały czas miałam wrażenie, że to narrator cofa się w swoją przeszłość przez Austerlitza.

If I knew there were books this good written IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY I probably would have spent a lot less time whining about how nothing can top George Eliot and, I don't know, READING W.G. SEBALD? I am kind of embarassed that, currently, my main reaction to this book is "Holy crap!" I really need to come up with something more erudite, especially for this novel. Meanwhile - stop whining about Eliot and read some Sebald! ...more

For wahtever reason, I found this book almost impossible to get through. Some are big fans of Sebald and sadly, because this is the only thing from him I have ever read, I am not.

Didn't finish, I guess I wasn't in the mood for this. I'll get back to it later, though. This is just the rating for the one third of the book. ...more
