Vertigo

Book • 1998
Vertigo, by W. G. Sebald, is a novel that masterfully blends fiction and autobiography.

The narrative follows the author's journey through various locations, reflecting on the region's history and his own personal experiences.

The novel explores themes of memory, loss, and the passage of time.

Sebald's unique prose style, characterized by its lyrical quality and incorporation of photographs, creates a haunting and atmospheric reading experience.
