Sebald on narrative literature

2018-08-20

📝 Sebald on narrative literature, from a 1999 profile in the Paris Review.

“I have an aversion to the standard novel: ‘She said, and walked across the room’ — there’s something trite about it. You can feel the wheels turning.”

I feel like others have expressed this sentiment, can’t remember who. But I recognize it fiercely.
