About this Event
On Wednesday 30th September we'll be diving into the Joyce-ian depths of W. G. Sebald's Rings of Saturn. This promises to be one of our more challenging yet rewarding reads - join us in ticking an essential book of your reading bucket list.
What begins as the record of W. G. Sebald’s own journey on foot through coastal East Anglia, from Lowestoft to Bungay, becomes the conductor of evocations of people and cultures past and present. From Chateaubriand, Thomas Browne, Swinburne and Conrad, to fishing fleets, skulls and silkworms, the result is an intricately patterned and haunting book on the transience of all things human.
We'll be in the secondhand department on the basement floor at 5.45: come along for tea, biscuits, and bookish conversation!
