"The slippage of memory has been the great preoccupation of [Sebald's] work, and with his remarkable new novel, AUSTERLITZ, the struggle to rectify that slippage becomes something more--a guiding principle, and perhaps the only recognizable substance, of our lives. As in his other work, Sebald never states this point outright....Instead, he elicits it elliptically, in a long series of stories that overlap each other, unexpectedly switch back and turn in on themselves....At the end of this dilatory, elaborately structured and evocative novel, then, we have forgotten altogether our original readerly suspicions about the reality of Austerlitz's story, and taken up the far more unsettling questions that it poses about the reality of our own."
Chris Lehmann, Newsday (Long Island, N.Y.), 10/07/2001
Review:"The repetition of crucial motifs and perspectives and a certain narrowness of emotional range are major sources of his unsettling power, but they also leave the reader feeling that whole paragraphs could be transposed from one book to another without seriously affecting syntax and rhythm, all of Sebald's characters, irrespective of age or gender, sound remarkably similar to one another and, most of all, to the narrator himself....[F]or all its considerable strengths, AUSTERLITZ is also a highly problematic achievement. The numerous interminable hesitations and digressions, although thematically justifiable as Austerlitz's way of avoiding more disturbing, personal questions, are simply too long and too improbable to sustain one's interest....Sebald possesses an undeniably distinctive sensibility and tone, and his writing contains pages of hallucinatory intensity, but there is a weariness with the exigencies of fiction-making that becomes a serious limitation as the book goes on. Originality of voice, it turns out, is a necessary but not a sufficient criterion of literary greatness and, so far, for all the praise and the prizes, Sebald has not yet exhibited the latter."
