▪ 2002German-born novelist and scholar (b. May 18, 1944, Wertach im Allgäu, Ger.—d. Dec. 14, 2001, Norwich, Eng.), entranced casual readers and critics alike with his haunting, richly imaginative, nonchronologically constructed stories. His work often explored themes of memory as they related to the Holocaust. Sebald's novels included Schwindel, Gefühle (1990; Vertigo, 1999), Die Ausgewanderten (1992; The Emigrants, 1996), Die Ringe des Saturn (1995; The Rings of Saturn, 1998), and Austerlitz (2001, in German and English).
