On The Natural History Of Destruction
Sebald, W.G.
Sebald’s On the Natural History of Destruction explores German writers’ silence about a moment of mass destruction
In the last years of World War II, a million tons of bombs were dropped by the Allies on one hundred and thirty-one German towns and cities. Six hundred thousand civilians died, and three and a half million homes were destroyed. When it has cast such a very dark shadow over his life and work, Sebald asks, how have so many writers allowed themselves to write it out of their experience and avoid articulating the horror? W.G. Sebald’s On the Natural History of Destruction sparked a wide-ranging debate in the German press.

’One of the most important writers of our time’ A.S. Byatt, New Statesman
’Demands to be read for its grand emotional power ... it absorbs and horrifies and illuminates’ Scotsman
’Brilliant and disturbing’ Antony Beevor, The Times
