J. J. Long’s 2007 publication, W. G. Sebald: Image, Archive, Modernity is a marvelous key to guide us out of the world of Sebald’s narratives and back into our own. For anyone who has ever been lost in the labyrinthine world of the four major narratives of Sebald, The Emigrants, Austerlitz, Rings of Saturn or Vertigo, Long’s book G. W. Sebald: Image, Archive, Modernity is a major reality check, or at least a virtual reality check as Sebald is cast in the role of Foucaultian stooge, the lost subject of modernity’s drive to homogenize space, discipline the body, and archive everything out of existence. J. J. Long’s reading of Sebald as the resistant agent of the State’s drive to rationalize, the Savoir Vouloir Pouvoir Faire of Louis the XIV’s Richelieu, extracts the clues scattered throughout Sebald’s work, the maps, the libraries, the archives, the railways and hotels, and puts together a forceful reading of this enigmatic exiled German/Anglo writer. |
