Speak, Silence: In Search of W. G. Sebald Customer Reviews
:- 4.0 out of 5 stars from DS -- Extremely well documented though overly sympathetic life of WG Sebald : Having read the major Siebald books, with delight, horror, and respect, I wondered what a biography by a non academic anglophone writer might give us. A great deal. Though not always critically. Angier does not shy away from Max’s iniquities, yet she does excuse them too easily. He was an unrepentant plagerist and thief of other’s lives - this has the long established brutality of fact - but Siebald is also a deeply empathetic literary genius, almost contrary to his own nature. Dear future reader, you may not enjoy this portrait but we shall learn from it. Extraordinary documentation across multiple platforms. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2021 )
- 3.0 out of 5 stars from Jan Patrick Oppermann -- Not quite what it could have been : This first biography of the great WG (Max) Sebald was certainly anxiously expected. Three different reviews in the Guardian led me to believe that it might actually get somewhere with its complicated and elusive subject (the question of what exactly Sebald's texts are about - in relation to Sebald's own life). I bought the book and read it over a long weekend. It's hit and miss, strikes and gutters as the Dude says...I would recommend it with some serious reservations. It's recommended because it is a serious attempt at unraveling the mysteries of Sebald's texts and of his life. Unfortunately the attempt does not fully succeed.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from M. Foster -- An engrossing read : I found this work, an unauthorised biography, fascinating. I am reasonably well versed in the Sebald corpus but this shed new light for me. I accept what some of the other reviewers have said regarding the author's style and content but I think that Angier's remarks, deductions, narrative, etc., are revealing a great deal of the character of Sebald and the sitz im leben of his writings. The fleshing out of friends, acquaintances, all add to my enjoyment of his characters. The end notes and the very carefully constructed web site linked to the book by Bloomsbury are all an addition to what we know or surmise about Sebald and his thoughts. IMO well worth buying and well worth reading. Maybe one day there will be an authorised biography but until then, this is more than satisfactory.

- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Walden -- An informative, enjoyable and accessible biography of W.G. Sebald : Sebaldian scholars will all have to read this biography as it is currently the only one, and other reviewers will be writing to that audience anyway,so instead I will just say something for those who are not literary scholars but ordinary readers who, like me, like what they have previously read by W.G. Sebald and are interested in the 'background' to those books and the author's life. Simply put I think that this biography will address those issues and do so in a way that is both accessible and enjoyable. In practice for the non-scholar the book is 450 long - if I make a second reading I will attend to all the footnotes but on this first reading I did not want to break the flow of my reading. The narrative structure flow well with only the brief oddity which did not seem a deliberate stylistic intention of the author. I cannot comment on the accuracy, or otherwise, for although I have read all of Sebald in English - and even met him at a book signing for Vertigo in London many years ago - I am no literary scholar, biographer or whatever would equip or qualify me to make such pronouncements. I can just say that I found it informative and engaging. As noted, this is the first biography - although there is a veritable industry of secondary writings - and further biographies can be expected which will add to this which while extensive is not comprehensive. That is not a criticism, there is only so much a first biography can do as they are a cumulative genre these biographies, plus the author did not have access to some key figures which others may yet obtain. To conclude, I think it well worth the time and effort spent reading as it certainly give me enjoyment, as well as insights into Sebald's life and influences that I did not previously have and which will inform my rereading of his books. It is perhaps harsh to give 4 stars and not 5, but the photographs - key to any Sebald book - are not great reproductions, adequate perhaps, but not good. That is not directly the author's fault but the publisher's, i.e. Bloomsbury. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 31, 2021 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon Customer -- Intensive Read : Be prepared for a long intensive read entailing cross-referenced material. The reward is an enlightened view of the inner life of W G Sebold: a deep understanding of his writings is enabled. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 6, 2021 )
