In this final bonus episode from our series on WG Sebald, we discussed his two books 'The Rings of Saturn' (1995) and 'On the Natural History of Destruction' (1999). Both texts return to key themes of Sebald's writing: The Rings of Saturn is a melancholy walk across the low, flat plains of the East Anglian coast, where repressed memories of imperialist violence and mundane tragedy uncomfortably resurface alongside the banality of daily life. On the Natural History of Destruction is comprised of a series of essays reflecting on the memories of World War II in German literature, particularly the destruction of cities during the bombing campaigns in the final years of the war. 
Our next series will be starting at the end of this
