Translated from the German by Michael Hulse. First English edition; first printing. Hardback in dust jacket. 263pp Publisher’s black cloth boards stamped in gilt to spine. Numerous b/w illustrations throughout. Slight foxing to reverse of jacket. A very good copy. *** A first UK printing of Sebald’s first novel – if “novel” is the right word for this strange and mysterious book. “On one occasion she asked if I was a journalist or writer. When I said that neither the one nor the other was quite right, she asked what it was I was working on, to which I replied that I did not know for certain myself.”
