W. G. Sebald's Postsecular Redemption by Russell Kilbourn
Focusing on W. G. Sebald's four works of prose fiction, Russell J. A. Kilbourn traces the author's abiding preoccupation with redemption in a world that has been described as postsecular. He shows that Sebald's work stands between modernism's ironic hopes for redemption and whatever comes after.
This is a dazzlingly written book of exceptional intellectual range and great academic integrity, with beautiful insights into Sebald on almost every pageW. G. Sebald's Postsecular Redemption will be one of the most important and eagerly awaited publications on Sebald in years." —Helen Finch, author of Sebald's Bachelors: Queer Resistance and the Unconforming Life.
