One of Alameddine's six favorite novels, as shared at The Week magazine:The Emigrants by W.G. SebaldRead about another entry on the list.
My favorite Sebald — well, for this week at least. The book's four stories about German emigrants seem unconnected at first, but they gel into a harrowing look at the effects of the Holocaust, which is hardly, if ever, mentioned. Sebald refuses to soil grief with sentimentalism. The result is devastating.
