Sebald and Silverblatt. Absolute gold.

I've only read Rings of Saturn. It's really fantastic. He has very dreamy prose. I really appreciate his approach to voices - Sebald sort of assumes the identity of multiple voices by subtly quoting them and speaking as them on subjects those voices have studied or spoken about. I appreciate this rejection of multiple voices. It's always a singular voice.
You might know, what happens at the end of Vertigo? I liked it (that guy with the star-cape was stunning) but the end baffled me. Why did everything blow up?
Haven't read Vertigo senpai.
Probably to signify a collapse of history given Sebald's love of such things.
That's a great podcast. Too bad there are no good podcasts on classic lit

I thought about sharing this with /lit/ on the basis of Sebalds voice alone.
Sebald hated academics I'm sure he loved talking on bookworm... Silverblatt fucking loves reading.
