It’s the anniversary of the death of #WGSebald. Last year I noted the day with this drawing of him

An astonishing work using a long walk around the Suffolk coast as a springboard for wide-ranging discussions on history, literature and the environment. In that regard it is also prescient, lamenting on the #climatecrisis and how it was affecting the Suffolk countryside even when the book was written in the early 90s. Strongly recommended.

#NowPlaying One of my favourite artists with an album about one of my favourite authors. Patience (After Sebald) by The Caretaker. The moody, wistful album works with samples from Schubert's Winterreise.

Reading is great, isn't it? Off to read a few more pages of Prague Nights before I turn in.
