Review:
"[E]ven more than the two succeeding books, this is a self-portrait of the mind: a restless, chronically dissatisfied mind; a harrowed mind; a mind prone to hallucinations....What anchors the unstable consciousness of the narrator is the spaciousness and acuity of the details."
Susan Sontag, Times Literary Supplement, 02/25/2000
Review:"This extraordinary, unclassifiable book is a log of Sebald's inner life....Sebald is a thrilling, original writer. He makes narration a state of investigative bliss. His narrative doesn't just tell stories; it offers itself as a model of consciousness...."
New York Times Book Review, 06/11/2000

Book Description: New Directions Publishing Corporation, United States, 2008. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 181 x 39 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Vertigo, W. G. Sebald's first novel, never before translated into English, is perhaps his most amazing and certainly his most alarming. Sebald the acknowledged master of memory's uncanniness takes the painful pleasures of unknowability to new intensities in Vertigo. Here in their first flowering are the signature elements of Sebald's hugely acclaimed novels The Emigrants and The Rings of Saturn. An unnamed narrator, beset by nervous ailments, is again our guide on a hair-raising journey through the past and across Europe, amid restless literary ghosts Kafka, Stendhal, Casanova. In four dizzying sections, the narrator plunges the reader into vertigo, into that "swimming of the head," as Webster's defines it: in other words, into that state so unsettling, so fascinating, and so "stunning and strange," as The New York Times Book Review declared about The Emigrants, that it is "like a dream you want to last forever.".
