G. Sebald. Examining Sebalds well-known published texts in the context of largely unknown unpublished works, and informed by documents and information from Sebalds literary estate, this book offers a detailed portrait of his characteristic literary techniques and how they emerged and matured out of the practices and attitudes he represented in his profession as a literary scholar. \n\nThe title Ghostwriting signals the convergence in Sebalds works of a set of diverse historical questions, philosophical views, and literary practices. Many historical ghosts haunt Sebalds narratives on the level of story.
