Diana Athill
A Lost Voice
Campo Santo
By W G Sebald (Translated by Anthea Bell)
Hamish Hamilton 228pp £16.99 order from our bookshop
It is not easy to assess a book such as this, appearing as it does through the mist of grief and reverence surrounding the sudden and far too early death of a great writer. It is a collection of pieces left by W G Sebald, none of them previously published in book form, and it is so moving to hear his voice again that at first it hardly matters what it is saying.
