Young Austerlitz

W.G.Sebald died just as Penguin, his last publisher, began to take him to the wide audience his writing always deserved. His seamless blend of fiction, autobiography, biography, history and travel produced texts of hypnotic power that explore our relationship with the landscapes of the past. In Young Austerlitz – taken from the last book Sebald saw published – we are told the story of a man who learns that his past is a lie.
